Frequently Asked Questions

Archetype is published twice a year: in the spring/summer, and in the fall/winter. 

We’re glad you asked! You can order a copy of one (or all) of our issues at our shop.

Since all digital things are inherently abstract, we’re of the mind that if written work isn’t physically published, it doesn’t really exist. It exists only in the digital ether, without a physical concreteness. As a publication that champions the sensuality of being—of fully enjoying our senses—and the act of building artifacts, it is only right that we strive to publish physical issues of Archetype.

While that is our goal, we admit it is a pricey one. We rely on the generosity of our readers and stalwart supporters to help us create, publish, and distribute Archetype.
