Magazines




The PUBLISHER is a monthly magazine whose content is primarily written by the readers. Stories, articles, and papers are received by the magazine over the span of a month, filtered and edited over the span of another month, and published following month. The magazine is similar to science fiction, horror, and fantasy magazines, except aimed toward a more generalized audience with shorter, less eccentric/niche content. The writers will retain the rights to the work, with the PUBLISHER merely gaining publishing rights.

The target audience will be adults of all ages, genders, and ethnic backgrounds with some level of open-mindedness who enjoy reading (which, perhaps, may not exist in the modern world). For the record, works that are more likely to be read will be chosen in priority over works that are more intellectual or higher quality.

There aren't any major competitors. The closest competitors would be the aforementioned writing magazines that cater to specific writing styles.

Advertisers will target the newspaper based on categorization of work. The science-fiction section will have more technology advertisements. The romance section will have probably have beauty products. The comedy section will have alcohol, etc.

For the first few issues, the PUBLISHER will search out short works written by prominent authors to gain attention to the magazine itself. The magazine will slowly transition from requested work to user-submitted as popularity increases.
