Sorry to hear the print edition has been paused. I was thrilled when I discovered The Grub Street Journal. ‘A magazine about magazines’ is like a pitch tailor made for me! Luckily I still have the first two issues to buy and enjoy, and I will continue to follow you here at The Magazine Diaries. Aw the best. Jamie
Sorry to hear you're retiring print but hurrah for the digital. I know from bitter first hand experience how exhausting the marketing of a product is, no matter how excellent. I look forward to seeing how your r/evolution develops - and to listen to those Northern voices! SS
What I find absolutely fascinating about this is that you and Joanna should have known better - after all, that's what your job is all about. What's also absolutely comforting about this is that your mistake is so human, so common, so predictable when you consider who magazine enthusiasts are.
I have to admit that I'd probably make the exact same mistake myself and I'm allegedly an expert on the business side of the thing.
The good news is that Grub St. Journal's a great idea and I loved getting copies in the mail. So hopefully that will happen again in the not too distant future!
Thanks Joe. Spot on as always. We knew exactly what we weren't doing and that untimately it would come back to bite us, but the business side is just so hard for a couple of editors.
Never fear, though, we'll be back in print as soon as possible, bigger and better than ever.

Thanks Jamie. Keen to get back to print, just need to get our heads round the money side first. Bloody money!!!

Thanks Steven. Hoping that is it Au Revoir rather than Adieu for print. Ironically, it will depend how well we do digitally🤷🏻
