You need to find a publisher first! Then your next step is marketing. Wait untill Monday i will get you details about Awakenings and then contact them and see if they can help you. I will send you a private message so watch out for it. Good Luck!

:sl: I was also thinking about you guys and thought that maybe you coul contact some of these TV channels eg. Islam Channel, QTV etc etc many of them have Islamic shows and show contact details at the end........might be worth a try?

Can i ask do you have the magazine articles, etc all planned out? Exactly how far are you with the mag, cos you can't market anything without a product..........:w::bump1:

We know what the contents of the 1st issue will be we just need to sort the graphic and layout out... which is on hold as our graphics sis has gone to Pakistan.

Once the cover of the 1st issue is done we will create some a rates card for the advertisers and then start to approach advertisers.
