Jack Cullers and his corps of volunteers have been manning the presses. With the ink barely dry, our latest newsletter will soon be winging your way via the United States Postal Service. It’s a special, slimmed-down version with a registration form and the important details about this year’s convention. You’ll find hotel information, registration instructions, guidelines on selling at PulpFest, and where to look for further details about programming and news updates.
If you have not received a copy of the PulpFest 2025 newsletter by April, contact David J. Cullers at jack@pulpfest.com, or 1272 Cheatham Way, Bellbrook, OH 45305. Provide your mailing address and he’ll get one off to you.
If you can’t wait for the post office or want us to save on postage, click our registration link at the top of our website and scroll down to the heading that reads “To Learn More.” There, you’ll find a button that links to our 2025 newsletter. Print yourself a copy! You can also print out a separate registration form if you like, using the links on the same page.
Or, if you’re at the Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention in April, pick up a copy near their registration desk.
Although our newsletter contains plenty of great info, don’t forget about us here. Be sure to bookmark our homepage, follow us on X/Twitter and Instagram, and like us on Facebook. And don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel where we’ll be posting more great videos about pulps and PulpFest.
