Here We Go Again!

Dear readers. It’s 2025 and time for another Kickstarter. Here we go again!

Let’s see if we can raise enough money to push New Escapologist into 2027 with another four print editions.

Please back the Kickstarter here. Thank you. x

We first began in 2007, lasting for 13 issues over the next ten years. Then, in 2023, Kickstarter enabled us to bring the magazine back for a second volume (Issues 14-17). We’d now like to continue that second volume for four more issues (18-21, all the way to the summer of 2027).

Over the years, we’ve had some top-drawer contributors including Alain de Botton, Will Self, Richard Herring, Judith Levine, Luke Rhinehart, Leo Babauta, Mr Money Moustache, Momus, Ewan Morrison, Caitlin Doughty and many others. We’ve also featured great writing from working stiffs looking for ways to leave it all behind.

New Escapologist Vol.2 has seen some of our best work to date: essays, book reviews (of old and new books), film reviews, columns from clever people like McKinley Valentine, David Cain, Apala Chowdhury, Jacob Lund Fisker, Henry Gibbs, and the Idler’s Tom Hodgkinson, interviews, escape tactics, views into the Old Web, and letters to the editor.
