ABOUT FINE PRINT
Fine Print is an independent literary and visual arts magazine that was inspired in part by the now-defunct publication Mother’s News out of Rhode Island. Our goal is to showcase the work of independent and up-and-coming artists and authors in communities around the world. In this way, we hope to catalyze a cross-pollination of artistic communities and forward-looking individuals. We are a physical publication, not a blog. .PDF versions of previous issues can be found on this website purely for archival purposes. Fine Print is published on tabloid-sized 30 lb newsprint and is distributed for free in select cities throughout the United States. We currently circulate between 5,000 and 10,000 copies per issue. Fine Print is a labor of love and though we do accept advertisements from independent businesses, artists, authors, organizations, and other things we feel are beneficial to the creative community, all of the money raised goes solely to funding the printing and distribution of the publication.
