In May 2006, the magazine's crime-fiction newsletter, The Rap Sheet, was spun off as a completely independent blog under the editorship of crime-fiction editor and Seattle media personality J. Kingston Pierce. The Rap Sheet and ''January Magazine'' maintain a cooperative association, with Richards and Pierce contributing to both publications.
