FAQs

Subscribing

  • I’d like to give a subscription as a gift – how does that work?

Go into our shop, click on subscriptions, select the sub you’d like to buy by clicking on ‘ADD TO CART’, then ‘GO TO CHECKOUT’ (top right corner). Then fill out the lucky person’s details in the form under yours. At this point you can also add a message from yourself which will be included in a letter they’ll receive from us with the first issue of their subscription. It begins,

“Dear [their name],

[your name] has kindly gifted you a [12/24] month subscription to ‘Dumbo feather, pass it on’ known as Dumbo feather amongst friends.

[Your message]

  • I’m not sure if my subscription has expired or how many copies I’m still to receive?

Please contact us and we can look you up in ‘the system’ and let you know.

  • I’d like to subscribe and get the current issue as the first of my subscription.

Easy. Just select for your subscription to start with the ‘current issue’ from the drop-down menu when you’re subscribing.

Waylaid issues

  • I’m a subscriber but I haven’t received my copy of the latest issue.

They do go missing. If even just 1% of all the copies we post go AWOL, that’s still quite a few. If you haven’t received your copy of the latest issue, please contact us and we’ll rectify the situation pronto.

  • I subscribed recently but haven’t yet received a copy.

We always start new subscriptions with the next unreleased issue unless requested to do otherwise. If you would like us to adjust your sub and send you the current issue immediately, then contact us… easily done.

      Hi there, I’m a freelance editorial illustrator and cartoonist. Just wondering if I could provide an illustration for an article for you? I’m currently working for Melbourne and Sydney Child Magazine and previously for, Limelight Magazine The Herald Sun and The Age. I have some samples of my work here: http://www.darbyhudson.com

      I hope my work might suit!

      Cheers

      Please can you direct me to where I can find a sample article from the magazine? I’d like to subscribe for my sister, but wish to see a sample article/part-article first.

      many thanks

      Hi Claire,
      Great news that you’re keen to subscribe for your sister. If you just go onto our homepage (www.dumbofeather.com) and wait for a minute, an e-book will load. If you click on it, it will open in a much larger version that you should be able to read. It contains 60+ sample pages from the current issue of Dumbo feather.
