As I write, three hundred physical copies of noah are being printed. On Friday morning, we’ll be running around the Ithaca College campus distributing stacks of the magazine at places an IC student or faculty member might expect to find publications: the shelves where one finds the Ithacan, Buzzsaw, Kitsch, etc. In the interest of being not just a publication by or for students, but a literary magazine open to anyone, regardless of stage in life or career, we’re planning to bring copies down to a few locations on the Commons. We’re still in contact with locations, but check out Buffalo Street Books and the places you might normally buy books or reading material.

For those who are not local to the Ithaca area, student or otherwise, we’re more than willing to mail paper copies. Due to our limited print run and resources, we can only promise to hold 30 copies for mailing, so if you want one and can’t make it to Ithaca, be sure to send a request soon. If you wish to receive a paper copy, please mail a brief note of how many copies you’re requesting and a self-addressed stamped envelope (a typical “book-size” envelope would be a good choice if you don’t want us to fold the magazine) to:

PRINT COPIES NO LONGER AVAILABLE

We’re certainly excited for Friday — the magazine looks great and contains some superb writing from authors and poets, many — but not all — of whom are from the Ithaca College community. Hopefully the readers and contributors are just as excited to see the final product two days from now — be sure to come back and let us know what you think!
