Is anyone willing to offer advice on developing a magazine?

I'm developing my men's mental health website into a quarterly magazine (digital, definitely, but hopefully with a print-run).

I'm collating a detailed cost-up/business plan, and I wonder what advice or experience anyone could offer to help?

  • In terms of digital magazine I am not as familiar but if you are looking at print magazines you can check out the book: So You Want to Publish a Magazine? published by Laurence King and written by Angharad Lewis former editor of Grafik magazine. She covers various case studies and magazine set ups including the financial aspect.

    I also recommend you check out Mag Culture founded by Jeremy Leslie. https://magculture.com. If you are in London they do regular talks and have an online podcast which might be quite helpful.
  • Alan Rutter might well be your man. What he doesn't know about magazines…!

    Also, have you been in touch with Kevin Braddock of Torchlight Systems? you might be able to collaborate.
  • There’s this amazing book by Angharad Lewis called ‘So You Want to Publish a Magazine?’ that has interviews and insight from Industry experts, Editors and Creative Directors which really helped me while I was creating my magazine for my Final Major at uni. Covers pretty much everything involved in creating a magazine! Hope this helps ☺️✌
