Premier Issue is Out!
Despite a remarkably challenging (and at times just-plain-difficult) late-December/early-January here in the Thicket, we’ve managed to get the first issue shipped to the printer, loaded onto big giant trucks, and distributed into homes and bookstores and grocery stores all across Alabama. I still can’t believe it’s actually happening. Like right now. AT THIS VERY MOMENT, someone in some town somewhere could be opening her mailbox or pausing in the checkout line, looking at the premier issue, and thinking, “Now, what is this?” Ooh…it gives me chills.
Just so you know, we mailed between 20,000 and 25,000 copies into homes from the Tennessee Valley to Mobile Bay, working off of a list of ZIP codes of communities we wanted to reach. So if you got a magazine in your mailbox, that’s how we found you.
The remaining issues were sent to bookstores and newsstands and doctors’ waiting rooms—all kinds of places where folks might stop and say, “Now, what is this?”
With luck (and good magazine-making), everyone’s initial curiosity will evolve into a dedicated group of readers that likes what we’re up to and wants to see more of it.
If you got a copy of Thicket, tell us what you think. Good, bad, indifferent—we just want to hear your thoughts. You can email any of us by clicking on the “contact” link.
If you didn’t get a copy and can’t find one in your hometown (see where we're distributed), click on the “subscribe” link, and we’ll get you one in a jiffy.
Happy reading!

Great work! I really like this magazine, and I think you guys are going to do really well!
Hi, y'all -- Just wanted to let you know I sent in my subscription and am looking forward to my first issue! Amy Weldon
Just finished reading your premier issue. I love it! Having adopted Alabama as my home state almost thirty years ago, I have longed for a magazine that could talk about this interesting and wonderful state and the creative and interesting characters that live here. We have a rich history and current culture vibrant with music, food, art, race, politics and humanity. I look forward to future issues.
