What you can buy today
We publish twice a week online and have not gone to press yet. Print Issue 01 is planned for September 2026. Until it runs, the print rates below are for pre-booking only: reserve a slot now, and the first invoice goes out with the first issue you actually appear in. Nothing is billed for a paper that has not printed.
The sponsored article is available now and runs on the site in both English and Spanish. Newsletter sponsorship opens once the list reaches 300 subscribers.
