Join Friends of Print™

Friends of Print is for creatives who want to be part of the community and support independent print publishing, without the spotlight of a promoted profile or showcased practice. You get access to our full library of member-exclusive articles and interviews, entry to the members’ community area where you can comment on articles, join the conversation, and connect with others who care about print and design, our exclusive Friends of Print newsletter, and member discounts and offers through CreativePass. New articles land regularly, so there’s always something fresh to read and discuss.

Friends of Print doesn’t include a directory listing or a public member profile. What you get instead is a seat in the community area, where you can comment on articles, join discussions, and take part in the conversation alongside other members. Directory listings and profiles sit with our other membership tiers.

Yes, Friends of Print can be bought as a gift. At checkout you’ll add the recipient’s details and they’ll receive access along with a note letting them know it’s from you.

Yes. You can manage everything from your account at peopleofprint.com/my-account, including upgrading your tier or cancelling. Upgrades take effect straight away, and cancellations stop your renewal while keeping your access running until the end of the period you’ve already paid for.

Paying yearly saves you 20% compared to month to month, and you’ll receive a limited edition Print Isn’t Dead pin badge as a welcome. On top of that you get a full year of uninterrupted access with no renewals to think about, plus everything a Friend of Print enjoys: member-exclusive articles, the community area, the exclusive newsletter, and CreativePass discounts.

As a Friend of Print you get our exclusive members’ newsletter, separate from our general mailing list. It brings you member-only features and interviews, first word on new articles and the discussions worth jumping into, artist spotlights, and the latest discounts and offers available to you through CreativePass. It’s written for people who care about the craft, not a stream of hard sells.

We publish around two member-exclusive articles a month to begin with, and we’re growing that as the library develops. The focus is on genuinely insightful, useful content worth your time rather than volume for its own sake.

You can cancel any time from your account at peopleofprint.com/my-account. When you cancel, your subscription won’t renew and you’ll keep full access until the end of your current billing period. We don’t refund part-used periods. New subscribers are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee from the date you join, so if it’s not for you, just let us know within that window.

Yes, students get 30% off. Verify your student status at checkout and the discount is applied automatically.
