Issue .00 / September 2026 / Wellington
A magazine
about the people
you walk past.
FABER is about the community. Wellington has such a vibrant creative industry, yet there's nothing like this here, so I've set out to change that.
01 / What's inside
Four things, every month, on paper.
The photo competition
Open to every print subscriber. The winning frame takes the cover. Fifteen more are printed inside, each credited with the photographer's handle.
What's on
The month ahead across the region: openings, gigs, markets, meets and the small things that never make a listings site.
The people
Long-form on creative professionals, small businesses and hobbyists from around Wellington. Nominated by readers, mostly.
04The directory
A contact section at the back. Names, trades, a QR code that goes straight to their work. Built so readers can actually hire the people they just read about.
02 / The object
Made to keep,
not to throw away.
This isn't just any magazine. We've put a lot of time and effort into making something you'll be proud to have sitting on your coffee table. Quality printing, thick paper, and the weight to match.
03 / Subscribe
Two ways in.
The print subscription is the whole thing: the book in your letterbox and a place in the monthly competition. The digital one is the reading, without the object.

04 / Tell us about someone
Who should be in the next one?
A tattooist, a welder, a baker who won't shut up about hydration ratios. If they're from the region and they're good at the thing they do, we want to hear about them.
