From the Editor's Shelf. Your choice of any magazine from our Editor-in-Chief's personal collection. Orion? Lucky Peach? Harper's? Pacific Standard? Yes. And of course, Issue 1 of Local is included!

Now imagine sitting in your comfortable chair flipping through the very first print version. This will give you the tangible, full experience of our investigative journey. Find it in your mailbox in late summer.

We are caffeinating our campaign through a partnership with Little Amps coffee in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Now you will not only get a memo book, the print and e-version of our magazine, but a bag of beans from one of the best slow roasters on the east coast.

Stop imagining. We will mail you a customized Local memo book, and the print and e-versions. Also, look for your name in the sponsor section.

Our sensational photographer and supporter Liz Laribee is offering this "sketch"y pledge reward: a personalized portraiture made on recycled cardboard of you, a family member, Ira Glass, Flannery O'Connor, etc. Your choice. So for $75, you can get a print issue, a portraiture, and a local notebook. Christmas in July anyone?

Same, same but a little different. You will be sent a bundle of gifts: a year’s subscription to all versions, one Local memo book, and a donor shout out in our sponsor section.

Get all of the above plus a special edition print photo (of your choice) from Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania.

If you are an organization, we will highlight your ad in our e- and print versions, plus you get all of the above. If you are an individual, we will give you a lifetime subscription, a chance to join us at our next site or to feature your town in a web exclusive.

Receive an iPad with a commemorative engraving, a lifetime subscription, a special shout-out in the first four issues, five one-year subscriptions to our favorite online mags, and an invite (plus one) to our team’s launch party.

Ding, dong? Who’s at your door? The Local Team is here to compose a whole issue in your hometown. That’s something to root for. Pool your money together with family and friends and wrangle us to your community.
