We did it. We got The Grub Street Journal to the printers and they’ve sent it back. Mission accomplished as Dubya once said... and I guess we’re about as done as he was.

Seriously George, mission accomplished?

Every box stacked up in the corner of our living room contains multiple copies of The Don Quixote Issue of The Grub Street Journal, 68 magazine pages about magazines.

Now we just need to start mailing them, a quarter to the wonderful people who preordered, the rest just as soon as we can sell them.

If you preordered, thank you, we’ll start mailing on Monday and you should have your copy this week, at least here in the UK.

If not and you want to help us empty the rest of those boxes, order at grubstreetjournal.com if you’re in the UK and at Newsstand.co.uk if you’re anywhere else.

Calm down Brad, it’s just Grub Street, not Gwyneth’s head

Here’s a wee peek at what’s in the boxes.


Read
  • What kind of idiots still make magazines? We talked to eight

  • How street papers are selling stories and saving lives

  • The Drama! Divas! and Deadlines! of magazines in the movies

  • Why designers are not just colouring-in monkeys


Hear from
  • Gary Rayneau on why DE&I is everyone’s problem

  • Art Director Fiona Hayes on ditching screens, and office dogs

  • Tortoise’s Liz Moseley saying, “No! Not the biscuit tin”

  • @Coverjunkie on the art of a great cover


Think about
  • Whether sales people are just born with it

  • How you’ve been having ideas all wrong

  • How to get people to join your magazine gang online

  • Your next great indie magazine read


BUY NOW!


Now that the first issue is done, we’re planning on putting the Magazine Diaries newsletter back on a weekly footing and next week we’ll be talking about Sara’s bonkers ‘Don Quixote’ cover. Tell your friends.


And finally, we’ve made a special Spotify playlist for The Don Quixote Issue… the ‘Fools & Dreamers’ lineup is dedicated to all you wonderful idiots still making magazines 💜
