WEAVE FEATURED EVENT!
The TypewriterGirls Try Politics
"After the (amazing) scantily clad, mildly orgiastic debacle that was The TypewriterGirls Try Drag, the ladies have decided to turn over a new leaf and begin an epic battle in the name of social justice. Join them in their quest to unionize the Greater Pittsburgh bohemian community–streetwalkers, poets, bicyclists, tarot card readers, amateur astrologers, and the like–while revolutionizing Pittsburgh’s concept of 'employed.' Supported by the AFL-CIO (in a manner of speaking), The TypewriterGirls have rounded up an all-star team of Grass Roots Community Organizers to aid them in their cause." Feat. poets Renee Alberts, Adam Atkinson, Mary Biddinger, and Jay Robinson, with music by Between Liberties, DJ Randy Spinster, escape artistry by Dave Doyle (aka Pester the Jester), and punk rock burlesque with Shrimp Scanty.

Weave Magazine June Subscription Drive!

Weave Magazine, as you may know, is an independent literary journal. While we were lucky enough to receive a bit of start up money from the lovely Sprout Fund, that money far from covers the cost of sustaining a long-lasting print journal.

Weave Magazine relies on your support.

If you've submitted to us, or are considering submitting, or have had work accepted by us and you haven't already picked up a copy of Weave, please support the journal that you would like to see your work published in. We understand that times are tough right now, but your support is the only thing that will, in the long run, keep us going.


That is why, throughout the month of June, Weave will be holding a subscription drive. Our goal is to get 30 subscriptions in 30 days. We know it won't be an easy goal to reach, but we know you're out there reading and we hope you value the work we do as editors as much as we value your work as writers and artists.

During the next 30 days, if you subscribe to Weave you will receive:

  • Two copies of Weave Magazine!
  • Fantastic Weave Swag!
  • A public thank you on our website - including a link to your blog or website!
  • A warm fuzzy feeling for supporting independent publishing!

You can subscribe to either issues 01 & 02 (and get two at once!) or issues 02 & 03. So head on over to our sales page and buy a subscription today!

PS: We also lowered the price of a single issue of Weave 01 to $7 - combine that with an 02 & 03 subscription and get three copies of Weave for less than $20 -wow!
