When you will receive it:

This subscription is once every two months, which is apparently called bimestrial - the more you know! The first is April, and so the next will be June, then August, and so on.

When will I be charged?

You will be charged every two months on (or around) the date you made the purchase.

When you sign up, you will receive the latest issue to have been released. So if you sign up on May 1st, you will receive the April package but if you sign up on June 1st, it will be the June package.

Can I cancel the subscription?

Of course you can, we won’t be upset, times are tough right now. If you have an account with us, you should be able to cancel in your account. If you want to cancel but hadn’t made an account, just email us (northernfolklorearchive@outlook.com) and we will cancel it for you.

The zines will be available to purchase separately if a subscription is not for you, just check out the ‘zines’ section in ‘Shop’.
