Wholesale Snatch Magazine Issue 1: The Fans - Women's Sports Culture

96 pages exploring what it means to be a fan of women's sports, with queerness at the forefront and joy running through every page. This debut issue proves there's appetite for sports media that celebrates fans, not just athletes—cultural commentary over game recaps, community over clickbait. Features thoughtful essays on hosting pride nights, finding community at WNBA games, road-tripping to see the PWHL, building women's sports bars, becoming obsessed with players you've never met, and the World Cup kiss that launched a thousand queer awakenings. Plus interviews with fans and creators, original photography, a crossword puzzle, and a flow chart for good measure. Basketball, soccer, hockey, volleyball, and roller derby—as seen from the stands, the bars, and the internet. Women's sports through the eyes of the people who fill them. What makes it special: High-quality production with soft-touch laminate cover that feels premium in hand. Perfect-bound for durability and shelf appeal. 8.5x11 inches—large enough to showcase full-bleed photography and designed layouts that do justice to the visual storytelling. Every page is intentionally designed, balancing long-form writing with photography, illustrations, and interactive elements. This is independently published work that sold out its first print run in three weeks. It resonates with readers who are hungry for authentic representation in women's sports media—fans who see themselves in the queer community-building, the obsessive love for athletes, the road trips and watch parties that make sports culture what it is. Perfect for: Sports fans looking for cultural commentary, LGBTQ+ readers seeking representation in sports media, independent bookstores and gift shops, women's sports bars and community spaces, retailers serving audiences that value authentic storytelling and independent publishing.
