Jack Cullers and his volunteers have been manning the presses. With the ink barely dry, our latest newsletter will soon be winging its way to you 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 learn about programming and more.
Send your mailing address to jack@pulpfest.com, or David J. Cullers, 1272 Cheatham Way, Bellbrook, OH 45305 if your copy doesn’t arrive by April. Jack will get one off to you.
If you can’t wait for the post office or want us to save on postage, click the registration link at the top of our website, then scroll down to the heading “To Learn More.” There, you’ll find a button that links to our 2026 newsletter. Print yourself a copy! You can also print out a separate registration form if you like, using the links on the registration page.
Or, if you’re at the Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention in March, pick up a copy near their registration desk or the PulpFest table near Adventure House.
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.
