On December 9-10 the website and app AM in collaboration with Books Council of Wales will host ‘Presant PRINT’ – a two day celebration of Wales’ magazines, encouraging everyone to subscribe to them as a Christmas present this year. This follows the first PRINT event that occurred on AM March this year.
Over the two days you can enjoy new content and exclusive offers by a number of Wales’ magazines, and amongst the magazines taking part are Barddas, O’r Pedwar Gwynt, Vaine Magazine, Golwg, New Welsh Review, Welsh Football, Scintilla, Y Cymro and more.
According to Arwel Jones, Head of Publishing Development at Books Council of Wales:
“It’s wonderful to be able to work with AM once again to draw attention to the wealth of magazines in Wales both in Welsh and English. Enjoy a taste… and then have a feast. Go to your local shop and buy a copy. Or even better buy a subscription for yourself or for your friend as a Christmas present – a present that lasts all year long!”
Lea Glyn from AM adds:
“It’s an honour to be able to use AM’s platform in a practical way to encourage subscriptions as well as to celebrate the magazines’key contributions to Wales’ culture”
According to Sioned Rowlands from O’r Pedwar Gwynt:
“Subscribers are a community of readers and are fundamental to O’r Pedwar Gwynt – it’s a multicoloured mirror to the magazine. And the discussions and informal reactions we receive from the readers is like being in a virtual book shop. They sharpen our ideas, and a large amount of them turn into contributors. As important is the community of other small magazines and the ideas that arise from coworking on events such as PRINT.”
David Collins from Welsh Football Magazine says:
“Welsh Football magazine is delighted to participate in the PRINT event showcasing the fantastic range of subscription periodicals produced by Welsh publishers. We’ve been offering a subscription service for 30 years (and even have some loyal subscribers who have been with us every step of the way!). A magazine subscription makes a wonderful Christmas gift that lasts throughout the year – customer feedback tells us that nothing compares with the pleasure of seeing your favourite print publications land on your doormat.”
PRINT will be available to enjoy December 9 and 10 on AM by visiting the website -amam.cymru- or by downloading the app.
