Huh?

Simple Magic is a weekly newsletter about skateboarding, the internet, and other means of escape. It’s written by me, Cole Nowicki, and comes out every Friday. I also publish monthly long-form pieces. Those are usually out on a Monday, but sometimes Tuesday, so who knows, really?

Who? (In the third person)

Cole Nowicki is a writer, producer, publisher, and generally well-mannered person. He was a columnist for King Skateboard Magazine, lead writer and researcher for the skateboarding documentary series Post Radical, and he wrote a book about the history and cultural impact of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater called Right, Down + Circle. His work has appeared in Thrasher Magazine, The Walrus, Quartersnacks, the Toronto Star, VICE, and elsewhere.

Subscriptions

Simple Magic is free to read and nothing is behind a paywall, but who am I to stop you if you want to support the newsletter with your hard-earned monies?

There are two paid subscription tiers, Custodian of Simple Magic and Champion of Simple Magic, that you can sign up for monthly/annually for $2.5/$25 or $5/$50.

If you get tired of me, you can unsubscribe at any time.
