Twelve stories. One year of exploring.
Made clear, up front.
The plan: 30,000 full-color copies, free pickup in the Grand Rapids–Holland–Muskegon area from February 2027, with replenishment through the year. Locations and the final delivered print quote are still being arranged. This is planned circulation, not a promise of 30,000 readers or sales.
Your payment: reserve with a 50% deposit or pay in full. Any balance is due January 8, 2027. Your spot is reserved after Stripe confirms payment. There is no subscription or automatic renewal.
Launch conditions: production depends on sufficient collected advertising revenue, confirmed printing costs and pickup capacity. If the publisher cancels the edition, payments will be refunded. If the timing changes materially, we will contact advertisers to agree on the change or a refund before production.
Your artwork: email artwork or design instructions to cadyarthur@gmail.com with your business name and reservation reference. We will confirm final dimensions and send an ad proof for approval before printing. Artwork and placements are subject to publisher review; if we cannot accept an ad, its payment will be refunded.
Changes: contact us before January 8, 2027 to request cancellation and a refund. After that, changes or cancellations depend on production commitments and must be agreed in writing. Ad placement does not purchase editorial coverage. Digital reach, category exclusivity and future editions are not included.
Terms version: glg-print-2027-v1. Contact details are used to process and fulfill your reservation. Payment information stays with Stripe.
