How to Start a Magazine

Melissa Hung
February 26, 2007

I'll be joined by folks from other Bay Area mags, including Lisa Jervis, founder of Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture, Sam Grawe from Dwell, Jen Loy, a co-publisher arts mag Kitchen Sink, and Neil Stevenson, who has edited at Mixmag and The Face.

Anyways, click here for the details. Personally, I don't know if I'd be good at telling you how to start a magazine. However, I can tell you all about how not to start one and tell you tales of woe about all the things we did that you should try to avoid.
