Thursday Treats: The Most Insane Week of My Life!

January 15, 2015

rocknrollbride magazine in the shops

Last Thursday was just a little bit of an exciting day for me, which meant I totally forgot about Thursday Treats. I would say sorry… but, you know… I published a goddamn magazine so its more of a case of #sorrynotsorry actually!

Last week was an utter whirlwind. The comments from those of you that got your mitts on a copy were unbelievable and very, very overwhelming. So thank you so much for that. I’m so glad you all love it as much as I do! ALSO, issue 1 sold out online in just FOUR DAYS! OMG!!

issue 1 sold out online

We’ll try our best to get more copies saved for online order next time, but if you really don’t want to miss out on the next issue, you can subscribe and have it delivered directly to your door!

Alternatively, there are still thousands (over 2,200!) of stockists all over the UK that are selling it. You can find out your closest stockists on our INTERACTIVE MAP! Simply enter your postcode into the search box and your closest stores will appear (you can then click the placemarkers for detailed store information as well as zoom in/out and pan around).

Please note, this page isn’t able to show current stock levels at each store. It’s just to help you locate official stockists. As a reminder, its being sold in large branches of WHSmiths (not ones in stations or airports) and Morrisons, and some independent newsagents.

But that’s not all my news (I told you this week was insane)! On Tuesday I was invited onto BBC radio to talk to Anne Diamond all about the magazine launch! If you missed it, you can listen to it here (I’m on about an hour in, for 30 minutes).

So it may have had a longer break than anticipated, but my lovely weekly links round up is BACK with a bang! So put down your magazine for just one second, grab yourself a cuppa, and indulge yourself in all the best treats the internet has to offer.
