Why Would I Subscribe?

You might be wondering if you would benefit from reading Outside the Lines. That's a great question. You don't have to be a practicing visual artist to gain insights and ideas for your own lifestyle from OTL. We address issues relevant to any creative lifestyle, whether it be in the visual arts, the performing arts, or any other entrepreneurial lifestyle. Whether you're a yoga instructor, a small business owner, a weekend artist, or engaged in any other enterprise that inspires you outside the 9 to 5 world of time clocks and job security, you will find stories, ideas, and inspiration in these weekly installments. We do focus often on the kinds of people that get lumped into the stereotypes of "the artist", but if you don't self apply that label, you should not feel left out. Our focus is on creativity, and that means many things to many people. Artists don't hold a monopoly on creativity, and week to week, we tease apart the layers to see what we can uncover for creative people of all kinds. If you are a creative thinker of any stripe, Outside the Lines is definitely for you!

Subscription Options

Here are all the options for subscribing to Outside the Lines:

Basic Subscription  For $4.98 you will receive weekly installments of Outside the Lines in your email inbox on Sunday mornings. And with our Amazon Payments payment option, you can cancel easily anytime if you decide to do so.

Gift Subscription   We have two Amazon Payments options for gift subscriptions. Use the Amazon Payments button of your choice for one or two gifts. To use these buttons, you must email us the details for who you want the subscription to go to, and any message you want us to pass along to the recipient. Or we can pick a worthy recipient for you if you prefer. Note: Recipients of gifts must authourize us to send them email, since otherwise it would be considered spam.

Starving Artist's Subscription  We are committed not to turn away an artist who is pioneering a creative life. And we understand that sometimes the phrase "starving artist" is very nearly literal. If you find yourself in that situation, send us a note and we will see what we can do.

Free Updates Subscription  If you are not quite ready to pay the small price we are asking for Outside the Lines, you can still stay in touch with what we are doing by signing up for free clippings from our full articles, along with announcements and updates about what's happening at Windhook and in Outside the Lines. You can sign up for that here. You can also read about why we charge a small monthly fee for OTL here.

Payment Methods

And here is a summary of the payment options:

Amazon Payments  You can subscribe with Amazon Payments. The Amazon Payments button in the upper right corner of each page will sign you up and set up your monthly payments through Amazon Payments. And of course it's very easy to cancel your subscription this way at any time if you need to. You need an Amazon account to use this option, but if you don't have one already, you can set it up when you click the button. The two gift buttons will set up auto payments for you to pay for someone else. To use these buttons, you must email us the details for who you want the subscription to go to, and any message you want us to pass along to the recipient. Or we can pick a worthy recipient for you if you prefer. We know some excellent candidates.

Check or Money Order  You can mail a check or moneyorder if you are not comfortable with internet payments. Send us an email from the email address you want to get your subscription delivered to. Print the email you sent to us and include it with your check for reference, and write the email address on the memo line of your check.

Make your check for $56.88 Payable to:

Michael Reddell or Peggy Sonoda
PO Box 160
Cambria, CA 93428

This amount covers your subscription for 12 months, and we will send you a reminder email after 11 months to help you to keep your subscription intact.

Important note about payments by check: We do not offer refunds for early cancellation. Therefore, if you are not sure that you will want to keep your subscription, then we recommend the online $4.98 automatic monthly payment method instead. This preserves your ability to cancel at any time if you need to.
