A dual subscription is a great idea. It’s one that we’ve struggled with at length. However, the logistics of such an undertaking are impractical, so we’re not likely to offer such a thing in the near future.

Perhaps you can take advantage of one of the discounts that Fictionwise offers, like the Buywise Club, which gives a discount on single issues and should make the purchase price a little more doable. A one year (6 issue) subscription will also give you a better price than buying single issues at the regular price. I think you’ll find that the Fictionwise price is very reasonable even without a discount though.

As far as which subscription method is good or bad from our point of view, TTA Press is happy whenever you buy our print version and/or our e-version. Either way, we have a paying customer and that’s good news for us.

Cheers!

I’m assuming that if I want both the print and the electronic version, I’ll need to purchase two separate subscriptions. I’m currently a print subscriber to Interzone, but would dearly love to have electronic versions too, both so I can read them on my phone and so I don’t lose all the content when the issue (inevitably) has to go to the great recycler in the sky.

Essentially, I’d be tempted not to renew my print subscription in favour of the convenience of the electronic. I don’t know if that would be good or bad from tta’s point of view, but have you considered a deal where subscribers can have both for less off-putting premium than two full subs?
