Dear readers,

Following lots of positive responses to the survey we sent out earlier in the year, and subsequent months of scheming behind the scenes, we’re very pleased to unveil to you our shiny new subscription service, through which you can now become an official supporter of Caught by the River.

This new, tiered system builds on our existing PayPal donation arrangement to offer a range of perks – including enamel pin badges, exclusive online and print content, and earlybird and discounted access to event tickets – in exchange for your support. Our hope is that the launch of these subscriptions will not only allow us to pay better, more regular fees to our fantastic community of writers, but that it will also ensure the ongoing financial security needed to keep the site and newsletter free, in their current forms, for all. 

If you have recently made a donation using the existing system and would like to take out a subscription instead, we’d be more than happy to refund it in order that you’re not doubling up; just let us know. 

You may also have noticed our brand new artwork, dreamt up by the fantastic Adam Higton. We love it, and we hope you do too…coming soon to a merch stand near you. 

Thanks for sticking with us, in whatever form that may take.

Jeff, Andrew, Diva and Robin
