Since the magazine is not published by a large corporate conglomerate and is written by actual artists who blog and write, it's contents are more insightful and art/artist centered. The second issue is being published at the end of this month and I highly recommend it. I know, you're thinking, "hey, she's biased, she's a writer for the magazine!" Yes, I am but I fell in love with the magazine well before I was a contributing editor. It's truly a spectacular publication with meaty articles and luscious photographs of beautiful artwork. If you'd like to purchase the first issue just go to the website, FeaturingMagazine.com, and buy a copy, we sure would appreciate your support and enthusiasm.
Even more exciting is a cool giveaway that our Editor-in-chief, Marit Barensten, is spearheading. This is what our Head Honcho says...
Also, you can buy "inchies" that are printed on the back of the magazine. A one inch square is $10 and you can buy sections, like four in a group (as long as you specify that you want them grouped). There are then instructions on what to do to put your art on these one inch spaces. This means YOU can have your art on the back of FEATURING magazine!"So, how about this opportunity? When you purchase FEATURING'S debut issue, you’ll have a chance at winning the second issue by filling out a brief survey. We want to know your thoughts. Your honest opinions matter to us! Therefore, everyone who purchases our first issue receives an email** with a link to our poll. Fill out that poll and you are in the drawing for a free copy of the next issue. FEATURING is nothing without its readers."

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being a contributed editor! How fun and interesting this experience has to be. The magazine really sounds very interesting!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jenn!
ReplyDeleteOf COURSE you must know that I did in fact purchase the first edition of FEATURING, so I can vouch for its high quality. I love that the features are indeed focus; the magazine is not drowned in advertising. The articles are informative, interesting and well-written. And the art, including the photography of it, is stunning. Inspiring! I'll be buying volume 2 and on, though would love to win a copy to share with my friends. I don't recall getting an e-mail questionnaire (though may have) and would appreciate it if you could get me in the running for the giveaway. Thanks, sweetie!
Fondly,
Ellen - cardMonkey
