Story so far . . .We distributed a limited print run (2000) of our preview issue during summer 2012 at various events, including the Transition Conference in September, and selected places in the UK.
For our pilot year in 2013 we are looking for individuals, groups or initiatives to distribute a bundle of papers every quarter. The cost is £75 per bundle of 250 newspapers i.e. 30p a copy, or £50 per bundle of 125 i.e. 40p per copy.
The TFP network, presently distributing 13,000 copies of our No 2 Summer edition, involves over 50 initiatives in the UK, so do come and join us!
The cover price is £1.00 so you can either sell them at cover price to raise money for your local Transition Initiative, or you can ask for donations to cover your costs, or you can simply give them away, or any combination of the above.
Please note: The bundles do need to be ordered and paid for before the print date. To place an order and ensure your copies of the Autumn issue (exact publication date to be confirmed), contact mark@transitionfreepress.org.uk.

We’d be interested in distributing here at Transition Hythe, how’s the first edition coming along and what is the availability date. Good luck with the venture, I’d be delighted to contribute if you are interested (I’ve been a journalist for 25 years)
Sorry about the above, I do know how to use questionmarks, just somehow forgot to do so!
That’s great Martin. Many thanks. We’re planning a winter edition and starting to commission now. Will be in touch soon!
Best wishes,
Charlotte

I’m an elder and a great believer in hard copy, old fashioned publications that you can carry around with you. What’s the format? Strictly a UK phenom?
Is there anyway for us to distribute these in the states?
Greetings @Charlie and @Stephen
Charlie, if you let me know where you are and how many papers you’d like I can work out the cost from there.
How many were you thinking of ordering, Stephen?
all the best,
Mark

im an engineering student in india.. there is lot of scope here for transition, but ppl dont knw where to start. will u be shipping the newsletter to india. and can we get a glimpse of wat it contains.
There will be a PDF version online from publication date Friday 1st February.
We’re in the “mulling” stage of Transition and nowhere ready to distribute 250 copies – any chance of 20? I’d really like to promote the ideas and look forward to reading it myself..
Sally
Contact one of the distributing hubs above for small bundles.
