AS OUR PRINTER IS TO OUR PHYSICAL MAGAZINE, SO IS SQUARESPACE TO OUR DIGITAL PRESENCE. 

FROM DAY ONE, THE PLATFORM HAS PROVIDED THE PIXELS FOR THE COLLECTIVE QUARTERLY'S LIFE ONLINE.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE PROUD TO PARTNER WITH THEM TO BRING YOU THIS PROCESS JOURNAL: A BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK AT HOW WE MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN.


FOLLOW ALONG LIVE

We have been fierce advocates of print, and we remain convinced that this medium we love so well is not only alive but resurgent. • Our print fixation has followed a natural progression from magazines to books, and that work will continue in the form of Charcoal Book Club (@charcoalbookclub), a curated monthly service that sends the world's best photography books to your doorstep. For more info, check out charcoalbookclub.com
We started CQ as a study of creativity, inviting artists to travel with us, immerse themselves in the culture, and make objects inspired by their experience. For us, the biggest flood of creative ideas has always come through travel—so it was a natural evolution that each issue would tackle one place and its people. • Over the past five years, we met Blackfeet Indians in Montana, mad-genius architects in Vermont, surfers in California, survivalists in North Carolina, lobster fisherwomen in Maine, fugitive desert men in the Mojave, and pugilistic conservationists in Georgia. We ate and drank with them, listened to music together in dusty saloons—and we shared their stories with you as best we knew how. • The Collective will remain live as a digital entity, with occasional posts to our site and main social media handle, @collectivequarterly. You can also keep up with us individually at @sethjputnam & @jesselenz. • Photo by @thealchemistress
Announcement: We've decided to shutter the print edition of The Collective Quarterly. • For five and a half years, we've tried to make the world a little smaller by parachuting into small communities around North America for days, weeks, and months at a time. We tackled one place per issue, and we gave voice to the struggles and triumphs of the people who live there. • Journalism about travel, food, art, and culture is often mistaken as frivolous. But at its best, it has the power to unlock doors, tear down walls, and introduce readers to human experiences they would not have otherwise encountered. The late Anthony Bourdain had many eloquent quotes on this subject, but here is one of them: "If I am an advocate for anything, it is to move: as far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. Walk in someone else's shoes, or at least eat their food." • This is a bittersweet decision for us. The Collective will remain live as a digital entity, with occasional posts to our site and main social media handle, @collectivequarterly. However, this journey has evolved over the past five years, and we've decided that it's time to turn the page. • The print magazine would not have possible without support and interest from you, our readers. We've been on an amazing journey together; if you're in the mood to reminisce, please feel free to share your favorite memories with us. During the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing some of our favorite stories from over the years. • If your bookshelf is missing any issues, we encourage you to stock up at our store. Issue Ø and Issue 2 are already sold out, and we expect the rest to go quickly. Link in profile 👆
