Dear readers:

Six months ago, we told you about an idea for a magazine. In April, that idea will manifest itself for a sixth time. We've published 18 longform stories and two photo essays. We've paid for every single one.

This is significant. All the money we have comes from readers — not businesses or grants or anything else. The contributions of hundreds of people who believe Latterly is important enable our storytellers around the world to do what they do. On behalf of them, thank you for a great six months. I'm excited about the next six.

Sincerely, Ben Wolford editor

PS. Here's a throwback to our first issue. Remember that website?

Remember our first post back in November? We said there would be a better community down the road, one where subscribers would be free to post their own stories and ideas in a true forum. Well, it's here now, as part of our transformation from beta I to beta II. Go ahead; have a look around; say what's on your mind about journalism, storytelling or anything you think the community might care about:
