FIRST AMERICAN ART

The magazine’s goal is to provide a common platform for native and non-native academics, art professionals, artists, collectors, and other readers to seriously investigate and celebrate indigenous American art, from ancestral to 21st century artwork.

It publishes reviews of Native American art shows, events and public art; and profiles of established and emerging artists from a wide range of media, geographic region and tribal affiliation. According to its writer’s guidelines, in particular First American Art is seeking serious critical analyses of indigenous art by indigenous reviewers, and also articles about art venues in tribal communities, especially rural areas; and native art in the international art arena. You can read the pilot issue (issue 0) online for free.

Issue 1 will come out in August, and the magazine will be published on a quarterly basis beginning with issue 2 in early 2014. Editors are seeking queries for issue 1, especially art show reviews and book reviews, until the deadline, May 21. They also accept indigenous language submissions on a case-by-case basis. First American Art is based in Sante Fe, New Mexico. America Meredith, an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation, is the editor and publisher. Email queries to info@firstamericanartmagazine.com.

DARE

Dare has a tentative quarterly publication schedule and its editorial covers news, trends, fashion and beauty. The magazine is targeted at fashion-forward women who have a strong passion for style and an eagerness to try new trends, who also happen to wear a size 12 and up. Although the current fashion climate requires a “plus size” label for anything other than runway svelte, in a Calgary Herald article, Editor Diana Di Poce said, “I wanted to keep it more general in the way that any woman can look at the magazine and get inspiration from it.” You can view the first edition online.

NAUTILUS

However, before launching a print publication, Nautilus is building an audience online. Each month the editorial team chooses one topic and each Thursday they post new articles on that topic, exploring it from different angles and through a variety of mediums, such as essay, investigative report, blog post, game, video, and even fiction or graphic story. Its inaugural issue is “What Makes You So Special.” Once the fall magazine is distributed, the website will be updated quarterly with new content, instead of weekly.

At its core, Nautilus is still essentially a science magazine. Its website describes the publication as big-picture science. “Nautilus lets science spill over its usual borders. We are science, connected.”

The magazine has received a financial grant from the John Templeton Foundation, which encourages dialogue among scientists, philosophers and theologians, and the general public.

This magazine is published by Nautilus Ventures, based in New York City. Michael Segal is the editor-in-chief, and story ideas and pitches should be emailed to ideas@nautil.us.

This magazine explores women’s contribution to the indie food scene, and almost all of its contributors are women, as well. It features a variety of cultures, cuisines and people, including chefs, servers, food stylists and scientists, culinary icons and up-and-coming entrepreneurs. The magazine is described on its Kickstarter page as, “sustenance and style and the things that nourish the mind, the eye and, of course, the stomach.” The first issue hits bookstores May 10.

Recently, I’ve blogged about print publications that have been born from websites with a huge following, such as ALLRECIPES, or publications that are purposefully building an audience online before launching in print, such as NAUTILUS. Cherry Bombe is an example of the exact opposite tactic. At $18 per issue, the founders are hoping to create a publication that lands on the bookshelf, not in the recycling bin. And according to their Kickstart page, the Cherry Bombe website will connect their community of readers but not duplicate any of its print content. “We’ll have plenty to offer the person who still loves the printed page and having an actual, physical thing to read and linger over.”

This magazine will be available in select bookstores, magazine shops and boutiques worldwide. Cherry Bombe is the creation of Kerry Diamond and Claudia Wu, former colleagues at HARPER’S BAZAAR, info@cherrybombe.com.

THE LIST

“We’re sorta describing it as being like what People Magazine would be, if everything in People Magazine was about our area,” said Editor Cathy Elliott in a local article.

The List is available online and for free at locations throughout Florence, Hartsville and Darlington, SC.
