Hello folks,
Just thought that Punk Planet's readers might like to know that Verbicide is trying to help plug a small part of the giant hole left by PP's demise: beginning with issue 23, which is at the printer right now, Larry Livermore's column will now appear in Verbicide Magazine.
I don't know how many people this will relate to, but for any mid-size magazine publishers who deal with a distributor called RetailVision, this is some infuriating news.
RV is the exclusive distributor to stores that include FYE, Strawberries, Coconuts, Wherehouse Music, and all other chains owned by Tranworld Media. They also supply many independent retailers across the US through their indie media program.
I have experimented with their programs utilizing both their chain and indie store distribution. Each chainstore takes $2 per issue, and each indie store takes a one-time $15 setup fee (for "purchasing a pocket" for each new title) in addition to their percentage.
