Creating a digital magazine?
My kids would like to create a digital magazine that they can share with family and friends. I’m on board with helping them with this project, though I’m having trouble finding resources about how to do so. [more inside]
Magazine subscription suggestions
I am really enjoying a subscription I was given to The Sun magazine and I would like to subscribe to another magazine or two (physical copies).
I especially like articles about topics I haven't really thought about - for example, in Wired magazine a while ago, I read an article about a man designing bowling balls. In The Sun, the most recent issue had an interview with a pop music expert. Short stories and other fiction are good too.
I'm not interested in something political for this question. I'm a farmer so I am not looking for more plant-related info even though that is quite interesting.
What other subscriptions would you recommend I look into? Thank you!

What month is this issue of An-An (Elle Japon) from 1974 from?
I don't have any knowledge of Japanese, is there anyone who could tell me what month/day (I think this magazine was weekly) this 1974 issue of An-An (Elle Japon) is from?
Help my energetic but novice colleague launch a little E-magazine!
So, a business friend of mine has gotten a grant to do an electronic magazine (mostly essays and news briefs). He knows sweet FA about how to do this. I say he should hire an experienced managing editor, but nope! Oh Lordy, startup culture 🤦 anyway, is there a good introductory document for him to read to get at least a sketchy sense about how to manage writers and assignments and time and pace everything? Thanks!
Looking for a Playboy documentary from 2007ish
I'm looking for the name of a documentary about Playboy that can't have been younger than 2007 since I watched it on a Qantas flight that year but am having a devil of a time finding it now. More details inside. [more inside]
Ancient History Magazine Recommendation
I want to give a relative a subscription to Ancient History magazine by Karwansaray Publishers. Do you have experience with this publisher? If so, I'm interesting in your opinions about their work, how academic the articles are, if at all, and whether you picked up on any political or religious leanings. [more inside]
What are the best New Yorker stories from any era?
As a New Yorker subscriber, I should be leveraging my ability to delve into its back catalog more. What are the best things that you have read in the New Yorker from any year? I don’t care about having to dig into the weird archive of old scans - any story from any era would be great. (If you know the actual year, that will be very helpful in looking the story up.) Thanks!
Educational Subscriptions for Tweens
One of the things that we like to do for the kids in our circle of family and friends is help fuel their learning with educational gifts. The latest is a girl, going on 12, who is very interested in art and nature. [more inside]
Magazine subscription suggestions
I want to get someone a magazine subscription as a stocking stuffer. I need something in the vein of Atlantic Monthly, Texas Monthly, Harpers, NYer, Utne Reader, etc. Something relatively smart, general interest, left-leaning, but preferably a tad more obscure than the above. Thanks in advance!
Looking for 90s sci-fi story about a librarian & all-knowing computer
I’m trying to identify a short story that I read as a teen in a US sci-fi magazine in the mid-to-late 1990s. It’s set in contemporary times. A widower librarian comes into work and discovers his research PC has been mysteriously updated and can objectively answer any question. [more inside]
Market rate for hiring a freelance editor for a nonfiction essay?
Let's say that someone had a project that involved a nonfiction feature piece of 4000 words for a well-known venue, starting now and aiming to finish by January, with 2 collaborators involved in the writing. If the collaborators were looking to hire a freelance editor to do developmental work + editing for craft for this project, what would be a fair rate to pay, and how would it be paid? (e.g. per hour, or invoice at the end of the project?)
Cartoon about a superhero who is fondly remembered for his work as a chef
Looking for a black-and-white cartoon about a superhero who spends his life saving the city/world, finally retires to pursue his dream of opening a restaurant, and when he dies his obituary says something like "Beloved Chef Dies" (making no mention of his decades of super-hero'ing) [more inside]
How do I create a digital archive of a print magazine in 2021?
What is the current state-of-the-art for creating (and potentially hosting) a searchable, browsable digital archive of a defunct print magazine? Is there automated OCR software? Is there open source software for creating flipbooks out of hundreds of folders of images/PDFs? [more inside]

What magazine/book to gift a friend who wants to learn about geography?
My friend, tired of being the one who 'never knows anything about other countries' in our weekly trivia/quiz get-togethers, is starting a new project to learn about geography. She's bought herself a new notebook and pen, and has a plan to learn about a new country or two each week - and is now totally unsure how to start due to information overload. What magazine or book can I gift her for Christmas that will give her inspiring overviews of the different countries of the world? [more inside]
Want To Subscribe To Kindle Store Magazine But Don't Have Kindle
Does the choice of ereader matter when you subscribe to a magazine in Amazon.com's Kindle store? I'd like to buy a monthly subscription to "Asimov's Science Fiction" magazine through Amazon.com, but I do not own a Kindle. I read ebooks with a Kobo. [more inside]
Reading and Writing Eagles!
I am a middle school librarian. I’m starting a digital literary magazine and need a name! We are named after a deceased female educator from the town, and we informally use her three initials followed by MS to identify the school. We are the LastName Eagles and our mascot is an eagle. Any cute, clever, or informative ideas?

Please help identify a B&W Conan magazine issue
Somewhere between 1985 and 1987 I bought an issue of a Conan comic where the main story was that he met a woman who thought he'd looked at her longingly after a fight in an arena, but he had to tell her that his look was just one of relief and that he wasn't even really looking at her.

support small magazines
I get the New Yorker weekly and while I really enjoy and look forward to it, the articles seem to appeal to wealthy, older, white audiences. What weekly / monthly magazines do you love that a) have in-depth reporting on a wide range of subjects b) appeal to radical/visionary thinking c) ideally are queer and/or POC owned or managed? [more inside]
Sojourners Magazine
Do you get Sojourner's magazine? Can you tell me what the bogo promo is that is in the August/September 2019 piece? [more inside]
Train Magazine - Looking for a Table of Information from an Issue
In an article of Train Magazine (a strength training magazine) there was a table of percentage gains in strength to expect if training with a particular schedule over a particular period of time. For example “week 3 of training 3 times a week, 5% gain in lifts compared to first session in week 1”.
The table actually showed percentage gains in each training session over a base session rather than it being written out in words as I have done above.
Does anyone have a copy of this magazine or this particular table?
Thanks
Are Heavy Metal and 2000 AD Showcase still worth a sub?
I have been out of the new comics game for a long time now, but need a shot of cynical absurdist escapism. Heavy Metal the magazine and 2000 AD Showcase were a comfort to me long ago as the age of Regan was imploding under Spymaster Bush I.They are both still in publication. Are these still worthy anthologies I should ask for as a father's day subscription? Alternates worth the cash, online or paper?
Starting a literary magazine. How much should I pay contributors?
Hi. I want to start a small literary magazine online. I have enough funds to start a magazine and to pay for contributors down the line. I am not certain how much I should pay contributors for publication? [more inside]

Finding a transcript/article of an African American man interviewed
I’m trying to find an article that I’m pretty sure I read in a magazine which was a transcript of a notable African American man who was being interviewed/questioned. More behind the jump. [more inside]
Help Me Find the Jack-O-Lanterns!
Hi! I am wondering how to find a hard copy or online back issue of either Ranger Rick or My Big Backyard (I think the latter) that had a huuuge spread of jack-o-lanterns on the front cover, back cover, or somewhere inside. It would have been when I was ages 4-7, so 1985-88. I remember it looking so magical!

Spy unmasked by throwing out National Geographics?
Was there a spy in the U.S. whose fatal mistake was throwing out issues of National Geographic instead of keeping them in a growing yellow bookshelf row like red-blooded Americans did? Help me figure out whether I'm telling a tall tale. [more inside]
Mail delivery from the past
Something funny happened. My mailbox today (in the US) included not one but two issues of the Consumer Reports magazine, along with my other mail. One was the December 2017 issue: not surprising, because I'm a subscriber. The other was the December 2013 issue, neatly packaged in plastic, and including, as it often does, an envelope with a notice asking me to resubscribe—no later than 11/26/2013. What happened here? Is this a unique occurrence? [more inside]
I want to aid the Archives, but how do I scan a magazine?

Is Teen Vogue appropriate for a 13-year old?
I keep seeing links to cool/thoughtful articles about current topics in Teen Vogue (today's example: Why Hollywood’s White Savior Obsession Is an Extension of Colonialism). But, I've never seen the hard copy magazine to get a sense of the overall tone of the print magazine, and whether it is really pitched to older teens (say 16+), or whether it would be ok for a younger teen who can read articles at the level of the one I linked. I'd get a subscription for my daughter if it's the latter. [more inside]
How does one become a literary magazine editor?
Hello. I am wondering how can one become a literary magazine editor? How do you build your way to the top? What degrees and skills should I be aiming for? I know a lot of online literary editors are mostly voluntary positions. Yet, this is something I have always wanted to do -- I just do not know where to start exactly. I was recently accepted to become a volunteer reader for an online literary magazine and that is probably the lowest ranking -- I guess one must build a gradual pace up the literary ladder. I cannot really afford to start my own online literary magazine since it can cost quite a bit. Maybe finding people that wish to start one might be an idea. I am eager to hear people's opinions constrictive and criticisms. Thank-you.

On Dr's orders my wife is now exercising every day (and doing great at it!). She is after body-positive, feminist-leaning media to help encourage this new undertaking. What recommendations have you MeFites? [more inside]
Can I make some side money spearheading an online literary magazine?
I am wanting to start an online literary magazine on the side while I pursue a MFA and intern in the coming fall. I am wondering if it is worth starting a literary magazine to make some pocket change? I know some magazines struggle, and I am wondering if there's any advice on how to make an ample amount? My first aim was non-profit, but there isn't much money in it, unless donations are given. I suppose it depends on the philosophical motive. I want to share and preserve the literary works, but I also want to make some money while doing this. Literarure and poetry are my two greatest passions. It's a lot of work to design and market this out of free labour; I do a lot of volunteer work myself, bur some extra cash with this project is something I would like to pursue. Some people may not view literary magazines as a business franchise while others may do so.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
RW.
Short story where silences are represented with unicode symbols?
Discussing silences in text with somebody, I was reminded of a story I read where the (probably Jewish) author sought to write the different kinds of silences that came up when talking to his family by using little symbols - an arrow, a interrobang, a star. [more inside]
What magazine subscriptions are worthwhile in the digital age?
I spend too much time looking at my phone when I'm home. I would like to pick up a magazine instead. I recently continued a Bon Appetit subscription after a trial period and was surprised by how cheap it was. I'd like to have a few more magazines coming to the door every month. Do you still have any magazine subscriptions that you enjoy? Any special interest, news, hobby, or lifestyle magazine you think is worth receiving in the digital age?
I need to make a PDF directory of magazines.
I have been given a long run of magazines to put online as PDFs. I'm currently scanning them and want to create a clean directory structure where I have the covers of the magazines as nice thumbnails, clicking on them gives you a modal with the cover and the table of contents and a download pdf button, and then you can download the individual issue if you click. Is there a free solution to this that doesn't require a larger brain than I possess? [more inside]

Methods on increasing perceived value of free publications?
Keeping in mind that the content will be top quality, what are some clever methods on increasing the perceived value of a magazine that is distributed for free? I am worried that it's like "polishing the brass on the Titanic" so to speak, as magazines and newspapers are dying a slow death anyway--but I want to take my chances in the hopes that it would pave the way to other online projects.

Examples of successful, multi-lingual magazines and newspapers?
Are there any proven publications (specifically magazines and newspapers) that are bi-lingual (primarily in the USA/Canada and Europe) and are the non-English parts necessarily a translation of the English parts? [more inside]

Help Identify An Iconic Photo - from Life Magazine?
I remember looking through books in my parents' basement as a kid, and I think they had a few 60's or 70's era Life yearbooks. There was a fashion shoot that has very much made an impression on me, but I can't find it, or any details about it. [more inside]
What's the name of this magazine layout technique?
Magazine archive (New Statesman, '78-'00), how to find a good new home?
We have a large archive of the UK New Statesman weekly political affairs, commentary and arts magazine, from 1978 to 2000, and we are trying to find a good new home. We're not looking to sell the collection, just send it on to somewhere it can be a resource for others. Can anyone recommend any other librarianship forums or suchlike where we should offer it up? (It's stored in Brighton, England.) [more inside]
Why is my New Yorker showing up misbound?
Twice now, my copy of the New Yorker has had two pages of the center signature way out of place (though no pages are missing). I would like to know why/how this happened (I think it's safe to say I'd remember if it had happened before, and I've been a regular subscriber for many years) and if anyone else has had the same problem (I assume it's not just me, but it's probably not a widespread thing because googling turns up nothing.)
