Howdy, cowpokes!
Rainbow Rodeo has been a whole entire website for one year, and we are celebrating by launching the fourth issue of the Rainbow Rodeo zine!
Rainbow Rodeo is commitment to paying contributors upfront and featuring diverse voices throughout the queer country community. Unfortunately, none of this stuff is free, and we need your help getting issue 3 from the Internet to your favorite bookstore’s shelves! This campaign is to create 100 full-color, digest-sized copies of Rainbow Rodeo issue 4.
Our Goal: $1400 by April 30th
The web hosting and contributors are already paid for, but my wife would really love for me to replenish my savings account!
Expected ship date: late April
Our Stretch Goal: $2000
This will enable us me to print up Rainbow Rodeo issue 5 without having to do another fundraiser!
What’s Inside?
