Using Airtable. Make sure all coordinators are using the same
information platform. In 2025, I allowed coordinators to opt out of
learning a new platform. Next year, I'll put extra effort into
making the platform accessible.
Shared email. A shared email account for coordinators would
make responding to artist questions easier and more seamless for
artists.
Fedi handles. This year, I aimed to get artist's websites for
general publicity, rather than fedi handles. Collect both - fedi
handles are useful for publicity as well as communication.
Digital cleanliness. It would be nice to have uploaded
digital zines follow a clear format like Author_Title or similar.
Deadlines.The 4 week delays between some of the later steps?
Those have already been necessary. One set of zines didn't arrive
until 21 May despite being posted on time.
2024
Build in opt-outs for physical zines for artists and backers
Build in opt-outs for payment for artists
Read the fine print of services such as Jotform
Include workarounds for Paypal
Get general publicity information from artists - not just fedi
handles
