I finally get the chance to be on the internet once again after things have somewhat settled down. It's still not perfectly set up, but it'll do for now. Here's where things pretty much stand.

Because this is a very big change in pretty much every way imaginable, it takes a while getting used to. Life has done a spring-cleaning of sorts. Everything that I know and have has been reduced to the most minimal and the most basic, and everything else will have to be build up again, all in due time. What this means is that I will be pausing the online shop for now, for how long I don't know. I will still be working on the magazine that I had started, but I will have to reassess the time schedule. It may not be possible to release the first issue by January, so it may very well be that the first issue will be for Mar-Apr, and it will be a printed one. It may be better that way anyway, so I'll have more time to work on it and if there were to be any kinks along the way, there will still be time to iron them out.

And I guess that is pretty much it. In other news, I am enjoying my time here. But then that's another entry for another day. Happy holidays everyone.

I have received emails asking about the rates and projected readership, so I shall post them here as well. I have created a table to show an example of how the rates work. I have used the Full Page size @ 6x frequency (1 year) for this example but you can easily replace the numbers with any sizes and frequencies.

Now this website and blog is still very primitive, and a lot more is to be added, all in due time - but the blog is up and you can read and follow all the latest developments of the magazine here. At this point I've pretty much finalized the media kit, which I will be adding to the right, and also email it out to you if you have registered your email address previously.

Reading the media kit, you may realize that it's written in the slant of a printed publication. Though I may have mentioned it being a e-magazine previously, I do have plans for it to be an actual magazine, distributed out through B&M shops and other arts venues. So if you have a business - any kind at all - remember to download the media kit and be a Styl-ish sponsor! Let's together support the indie movement and give it a voice - and make it LOUD while we're at it!!

So.. I have put the word out calling to feature sellers and their products for a new magazine project I'm creating that's coming out next year. The response is amazing. In just a short time, I received close to 50 convos. I'll be bumping the post up over the next few days for those who might have missed it and would be interested.

Here is the post on the Etsy forum:

Over the next few days I'll be finalizing the line-up for the first issue, prepare a media kit, prepare a timeline, and get the official website for the mag up and running. Right now whatever updates I have on the mag will have to be posted here.

Here's a peek at a draft for the cover.


And now... I'm just so excited! :)
