Thank you for understanding as we work to make international shipping options via our website & international locations available in the future. As a very small indie publication, we don't have access to easy international distribution like publishers have.
At this time, we're actively looking to connect with international stockists for Cycles Journal 2023.

Last year we sent the 2022 edition on consignment to a few locations from our printer – this was an experiment that we covered out-of-pocket to gauge demand while our printer was offering us deals to ship directly to other countries.
Unfortunately, the demand did not meet our expectations or expenses we needed to cover as a small business to make this happen again. We can no longer offer this option for the 2023 edition.
Our journals are no longer being printed with the same printer in Germany due to their paper supply chain (primarily from Ukraine) experiencing shortages, delays and 20-30%+ cost increases. In efforts to maintain our delicate annual timelines, and in the interest of not raising our costs or prices offered to our customers, we have decided to print with a new small-batch printer with sustainable paper options and equal levels of care, quality & ethics in South Korea.
All of our journals are shipped post-production to a U.S. fulfillment warehouse on the east coast where individual orders are shipped from.
We thank you for your understanding during this time as offering our journals in-country internationally continues to be a tricky and expensive challenge as a small business. In the future we hope we have the funding to be able to expand our international market, but currently we are experiencing limitations.
Thank you for your support & understanding. Please reach out for bulk or wholesale orders.
