Hello and welcome to the tenth edition of Coverage!
You may have noticed I took a weekâs rest from publishing the newsletter (Iâve been ill and swamped with other things). It was a good reminder that not everything we do or want to do is important, and most of the time people (or your audience) donât mind if you donât make your own personal goals.
Needless to say, Iâve been working on a special email to mark ten editions of Coverage. Iâve asked ten magazine makersânone of whom you'll have seen in Coverage beforeâfrom around the world and across different roles and genres, to identify what they love about making magazines.
Itâs a celebration of magazines from the eyes of the people who make them.
One project thatâs been keeping me away from Coverage is Totes Love Magazines, my first physical product brand for the indie mag scene: tote bags with beautiful commissioned artwork from magazine makers. You can find never-seen-before, pre-launch images of the bags below đâ¨đŻ (as a thank you for being a Coverage reader!! â¤ď¸)
Until edition 11, keep reading, keep writing, keep designing. Speak to you soon!

PS: Iâm super interested to hear which bag design people like the most. Reply to this email with your fave!
