Do you know how much I knew about making a magazine before I actually started making a magazine? Almost exactly zero. And I believe in the truth. I mean, I believe in telling the truth, in being as transparent as possible, even when it comes to business and money so I’m going to talk to you […]

It’s that time of issue again, the time when I have something fantastic to give away. Are you ready? This is a big one. A super cool one. One I really want to keep. REALLY WANT TO KEEP! You’ve read the smart and sassy Amy Tyler’s article and project in the worsted issue — holiday […]

In the 2 days since my last blog post (the one about needing to hire 2 copy-editors), my inbox has had more “in” it’s “box” than ever! From stay-at-home moms who love 2 things — kids and spinning, to ex-editors-in-chief, to librarians, to graduate students, to actual professional copy-editors, 210 people expressed interest in working […]
