Issue #2: One week to the starting gun!

Seven days remain until the kickoff of our next issue. There are many reasons to get excited. This time around our digital team will be experimenting with all sorts of interactive features, we have a new audio crew coming in to invent Longshot Radio (sweet!), the magazine’s art direction will be spearheaded by the awesome ETC…and that’s only the stuff we know about. We’re still waiting to see what you’ll throw into the mix.

We want to thank all of you who have pitched in to our Kickstarter fund. We are beyond thrilled that we’ll be able to pay our contributors for their work. If you still want to support Longshot #2, the campaign runs for two more days. All the money we raise goes to our contributors and staff, and you get your pick of some great rewards. (Including original art by Wendy MacNaughton!)

So start your pre-season training. One week from today, we’ll announce the theme from our pop-up HQ at the Gawker offices in NYC. We’ll also send out details on how to submit your work, and some extra fodder for your creative fire. Between now and then, keep an eye on our Twitter feed and our moodbook for theme-related clues and inspiration.

If you want to join a Longshot satellite office, there’s a growing list here. If you want to establish your own or ask us a question, email editors[at]longshotmag[dot]com. And sign up for our mailing list to get a direct email about the theme.

Let the countdown begin!
