Contrary to popular belief that print is dying, independent magazines, championed by editor Josh Jones, are thriving. Jones, known for creating acclaimed titles like Sandwich and Huck, has published a book titled Just Make Your Magazine that provides practical advice for aspiring magazine creators. It emphasizes an accessible approach to magazine-making, sharing personal insights and editorial processes to demystify the craft. The book also aims to reduce barriers to entry in the magazine industry, addressing everything from budgeting to launch parties.
The book's content focuses, as Josh describes, on being "jargon-free and to the point", offering as much varied advice as possible.
Josh sheds light on his personal editorial process as well as others, discussing practical considerations alongside more thematic, conceptual concerns.
It's not actually that complicated to make a magazine - it's just a lot of it is gate-kept. Aiming to open said gate.
There's plenty of advice on what people do at a magazine, how to write a call sheet, checklists about going to print.
