Our initial contracts did not include any electronic rights. We will be contacting early contributors to see if they wish to have online publication included with us.

The practical information is that you will find here all of the electronic information we can put on the web from earlier issues. We'll also include the table of contents and summaries of each of the contributions to help you decide if you want to purchase print versions of the magazines.

Print versions of early issues are available on a first-come, first-served basis. When we run out, we're out.

Inaugural Issue - December 2005

This was the challenge issue for David. His thoughts about writing and supporting wholesome, non-religious writing came to the point of put up or shut up. David decided to try and make it happen.

The authors and artists in this inaugural issue are truly amazing--and not just for their talent. These people had faith in a new publication, something that is difficult to do with your heart's work. In fact it took David eight months of signficant effort to attract enough quality submissions and prepare them before he could go to press.

You can see from the bottom right of the cover image that the magazine was priced at $6.00. All of the first three issues were priced that way for private subscribers. Though this seems like a high amount, it is barely sufficient to cover costs at the small print runs that were practical in the beginning. We're all glad it is more affordable now.

Spring 2006

And yes, we know the picture shows Winter 2006. It's a quirk from our publishing schedule.

One of the challenges of magazine publishing is getting a schedule established. This is more than simply meeting deadlines for editing. It also involves finding content, advertisers, and juggling other projects. This effort to get on a regular schedule has been a real challenge for us with a number of outside factors interferring with easy progress.

The key aspect that has made it all worthwhile is the great writing and art we continue to receive. This issue has a couple of my favorite stories. Though magazines are not as popular as they once were, it's definitely worth it to hang onto copies of Sofa Ink Quarterly. The stories, poems, and art are worth seeing over and over and are quick forms of relaxation too.

Winter 2008

This issue is our first full-color, 8.5 x 11 inch version of the magazine. Very few of this issue are still available.
