Chemistry is my passion, and I’d really enjoy a magazine about it. I’ve be content with any good science magazine, though, as long as it includes chemistry in it sometimes, if not all the time.
I know there are a few out there, so if you could list the pros and cons, that would be excellent! Thank you.

I like Scientific American – all scientists should read.

Chemistry is my passion too – but SciAm keeps you well rounded.

What’s the difference between Golf digest magazine and golf magazine? and which one do you prefer?

I’ve been a Golf Magazine subscriber off and on this past decade. My brother has been a Golf Digest subscriber. There isn’t much difference between the two magazines. Each has pro golfers as contributing editors to provide tips as well as teaching pros. One difference that I’m not totally sure about is that one is cheaper than the other when bought from the news stand. For some reason before I got a subscription, I noticed Golf Magazine was cheaper when I bought it from a book store. The other thing that I’ve noticed is that Golf Magazine has an issue dedicated to the Top 100 Courses in America and the around the world. I’ve not noticed this in an issue of Golf Digest. Again, I’m not saying that they don’t do it. I just don’t remember seeing it in any issue of my brothers that I’ve looked at. Both do an equipment issue promoting new equipment for the new year from all manufacturers. For me I just like Golf Magazine better. It’s an aesthetic thing.

I just graduated college with a liberal arts degree and had little idea of what I wanted to do. I realized I would love to work as an editor for a women’s magazine and it seems like there are no opportunities if you didn’t major in journalism. Even unpaid internships need experience at least in some way. Anything I can do to help my chances at getting a job or intern position at Self or Shape magazine??? Thanks in advance!

Doing an internship in journalism abroad might make you stand out among others. At http://www.linktodiversity.com there are number of opportunities to intern in journalism. Hopefully, you will find the one you like.

Hi, I just ordered a ps3 from ebay and I would like to know what magazine is the best for demo discs, thanks.

LOL. Dude, game mags havent put out demo discs for the last two years. Pretty much everyone is online now, so if you want a demo, you need to get online and download them.

This magazine is due for release next week, but i believe some news stands are selling this already. Does anyone know how i can get a copy sent to the UK, as its a USA/Canada magazine.

Whats the rush why can’t you wait another week?

Me and my friend want to start a urban type magazine (it will be opened to all culture though). The main subjects will be R&B artist and HipHop artist. We are mainly going to focus on the men . We we’re thinking for the men’s magazine it would be called We Love Men. Should we make this two separate projects? And which one should we do first? The men’s magazine will be for all races.

I wouldn’t think so as the magazine industry is really struggling right now to sell magazines and it doesn’t sound like a lucrative field to get in.

Our school is making a magazine for 7th graders. Ideas?

Music, teen idols, advice column, sports (professional scores, trades, etc). Quick after school snack recipes. Good luck.

Im doing a school project and our teacher wants us to make a magazine. Trying to figure out, what program would be easiest to use?

Adobe InDesign is one of the more commonly use don Windows computers. Not cheap by any means though.

What magazine is best for style and beauty inspiration for girls?

I quite liked Cosmogirl but I don’t think they publish it any more.

What is the best style book in your opinion?
I saw a book by teen people and there was one by Rachel Zoe.

I quite like the beauty bible, it’s good for tips It’s aimed at older but some of the tips in there are transferable and handy for you to know whne you’re older! Brill investment ;D
Are you in UK, if so try Sugar.
Also, try Look. Even though this is an adult mag it’s not really got anything in it, but fashion

I am trying to get some magazine to publish some press/article on my wedding photography business located in Los Angeles. Any tips? Do I approach the editor? How?

Press Attention?
Small businesses are likely not to have a lot of money for magazine ads. I would therefore start with Press releases to local papers.

Hints for Press releases, which are often used as fillers.

1) You may want to make a table of newspapers distributed in your area. Note name, editor’s name, time line for press releases, phone number, address, e-mail address, fax number. Always send in your press releases ahead of the time line, may be a week ahead. Ask what is preferred: mail, e-mail, fax, and if you may send pictures. Make a note of the name of the contact person to be able to address the right person later. You may want to get their phone extension number. When you send in your press release, make some personal statements to the contact person, such as "thanks for the info you gave me, it was a great help." Become the editor’s friend.

2) You may want to have "news" all the time. Be creative (but what you say has to match reality, has to be honest). E.g.
Event 1:
Elegant Wedding Photography Studio such and such has open house from 4-8PM, on Saturday, July 28, 2007. Enjoy trying out your wedding postures for your professional pictures. Learn about your photogenic side. Location: such and such, phone such and such. For questions please contact (name).

Event 2:
Fabulous Picture Party at the Wedding Studio Such and Such: Friday, August 3, 2007, from 6-8PM. Get ideas for your wedding party. Location such and such, phone such and such.

Event 3:
Say Cheese Party at the glamorous wedding studio such and such. (Same general info follows as in 1 and 2).

3) Place all the main info in the first paragraph similar to the examples above, since the newspaper may cut out the second paragraph for space reasons.

4) Add another paragraph if you like with the history of your studio, personal info about yourself, your education, about famous people who came in there, about special skills or services etc. Make it about 5-10 lines. Every submission should have some new info. These second paragraphs may be left out or shortened by the newspaper for lack of space in the issue.

5) Always make the text somewhat different in wording for each newspaper. Newspapers do not like to have the exactly same text as their competition. Just changing words around helps, the contents can be the same. Also use different pictures for each newspaper and make careful notes which photograph and what text you have sent to what paper and when, and what has been actually published. Collect the clippings in an album, show them to your customers, may be as copies. May be you want to make notes how many calls and customers your release got. When you get calls, ask how they heard about you. You may want to ask for their needs and think of some benefits for your customer to tell them about. Find out what the best press release style and newspapers are for you.

6) Add pictures to your press releases only after confirming with each newspaper that this is OK. The pictures may not always be printed, it depends on the space the newspaper has left for that issue. Inquire if paper photographs are preferred or digitals via e-mail and what type of transmission is to be used.

7) Keep doing it "forever" since people often need to read an add many times before they act. Furthermore, they may want to hire you as their wedding photographer but have not saved the newspaper with your press release they saw. Then they keep looking in newspapers and may find your new release.

Later, when you have a budget for adds, you may send articles and pictures to magazines or invite them to write a picture story on your studio with an exciting sounding letter, getting their attention in the first sentence! Think about innovative ideas to make the magazines want to print an article on your studio. You got the picture.

Wishing you good luck, you are on the right picture track!
