Questions
Anything we haven't covered, reach us at the contact page.
What's the difference between monthly and annual?
Both give you the same full access —every issue, the full archive, everything. The only difference is how you pay. Annual locks in 12 months at once and saves you 15% ($18) compared to paying month by month. Monthly gives you the flexibility to cancel anytime without a year-long commitment
What does a Single Issue purchase give me?
A one-time payment of $15 unlocks one specific issue permanently — it's yours to read anytime, no subscription required. You won't have access to other issues or the archive. If you find yourself buying more than one or two issues, a monthly subscription is the better deal at $10.
Do subscribers get access to past issues?
Yes — both the monthly and annual subscriptions include the full archive. Every issue we've published is yours to read from the moment your subscription is active.
How do I cancel?
You can cancel anytime from your account page — no hoops, no phone calls. If you cancel a monthly subscription, your access continues until the end of the billing period you've already paid for. Annual subscribers are not issued a refund but can cancel so they do not incur another renewal.
When does a new issue come out?
A new issue of Drake Magazine is published once a month. You'll have full access to it the moment it's live — no waiting, no extra charge.
Is this a print magazine or digital only?
Drake Magazine is currently a digital publication — available to read on any device, any browser, anytime. No shipping, no waiting. Just the magazine, beautifully formatted for screen.
