Announcement! New Read It Now for March!

We'll tell you all about what happened in the next issue. It's a good story. Check back soon!

It's been about six months, and it's about time for a new issue. I'm not sure how long this will last, but I have enough content to make a great issue, and in about two weeks, that's what you're going to get. If you've got flyers or anything already prepared, I'll consider it if you send it ASAP to editor@readitnowzine.com. Thank you for everything, forever! Love, Franny Olsen

You may already know us, but in case you don't, Read It Now is a militantly independent magazine based in the Hudson Valley. We give comprehensive documentation on the local music scene and publish articles that range from factual to flagrant and into infinity. We talk about local and national issues, and we come out once every other month. We have a dedicated and growing staff and readership. We accept submissions from anyone, and profile local bands in-depth. We believe in independent media, and we love anyone else who puts out independent, creative publications that document what is usually marginalized. We welcome anyone interested in being a part of this local phenomenon to email us right away! Email editor@readitnowzine.com.
