Howler ships this week!
Hi everyone,
We have exciting news: Howler ships this week. But first...
There are a handful of backers for whom we still don't have mailing addresses. We want our Kickstarter backers to be included in the very first shipment directly from the printer, but we can only ensure this if we get your mailing address within the next few hours. Please send it directly to hello@howlermagazine.com. (In addition to this, please don't forget to fill out the backer survey we sent last month; we would re-send, but Kickstarter only allows us to send it out once.)
We're so excited to get the magazine into your hands. When you've had a chance to read it, please let us know what you think—you can send comments to the same email address, and we'll select a couple to run in the next issue as letters to the editor.
In the meantime, you can preview two stories from the first issue:
Matt Doyle watched more than 50 hours of USMNT game footage dating back nearly 25 years for his piece, What is American Soccer?
And in The Audacity of Hope, Gwendolyn Oxenham considers the new bestselling autobiography by one of the biggest personalities in women's soccer and what it says about the evolution of the sport and the way we think about the stars of the USWNT.
Thank you,
The Howler Team
