SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM TIM SNYDER

Dear Generate community,

I’ve been with Generate Magazine since we launched 2009, but this past summer I was honored to take on a new role as Executive Editor. In this new role, I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes this magazine special and lately I’ve been talking about the magazine as a workshop. Generate is a platform where together we practice telling grassroots stories of kingdom hope. For many of our contributors, this is the first time they have ever published their work. For others it is just one of many publishers they work with. This is what I love about the magazine. There’s just nothing else out there that tells these stories through the creative mediums of our magazine.

Because this is workshop we create together can play an important role in the changing shapes of Christian communities, over the last few months we’ve been working hard to deliver some exciting changes here at Generate that will ensure our ability to continue creating this unique publication and to grow the community that generates, enjoys and shares the publication.

So, beginning in November we are very excited to announce the following changes to Generate Magazine:

First of all, from now on Generate Magazine will be published in a new 8.5 X 11 format. The new enlarged format is part of wider partnership with our new publishing partner, Magcloud (HP). Through their print-on-demand service, you will now be able to order the print magazine on the day we release it and the cost will stay the same ($10). You will also be able to decide for yourself how you want it shipped. If you’ve ever had problems receiving Generate (like I have!) you’ll be excited to about the new tracking options.

To kick off this new format, we are re-releasing Issues 1-3 in print through Magcloud beginning within just a few weeks.

Second, through this new partnership we will also be able to offer for the first time a full digital version of the magazine! The digital version of Generate will be readable on iPads, iPhones, e-readers and any computer and immediately available the day we release a new issue. The digital version will come free when you purchase the print edition, or you can buy just the digital version ($7).

Finally, as a token of our thanks for all your support over these past couple of years, we’re offering Issues 1-3 now for a special buy one, get one free (original format). There’s a limited supply of these, so jump on that quick.

On behalf of the entire Generate staff — thank-you for all your support!

Be generative,

Tim K. Snyder

EXECUTIVE EDITOR
