RE: I'm Creating A Steemit Magazine. - Would You Like To Get Involved?
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best - I read your original post and was wondering what you were planning, and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised and excited! Actually, I think we already have most of the content you need for the magazine and it is just a matter to liaising with various people that have contributed similar materials already:
- @ashleykalila - she has been creating the @humansofsteemit posts that feature profiles of users and ambassadors for Steemit
- the #steem-cartoon channel is full of talented artists from #teammalaysia, plus the #artguildph channel also has many talented artists from @steemph project headed by @deveerei
- there would be many people from @steemgigs and @steemfreelancers that would be able to create a website, translate the content and other work required to get it up and running online
- I know that there are plenty of writers on @isleofwrite and there are lots of curation groups that would be able to provide content
- If you were also interested in printing the magazine, I might know a couple of companies that can handle the volume required
And I am sure @davemccoy might know a few people too or have some ideas that might help :)
One thing that is missing from the above list is the managerial roles: editors and so on. Who decides the content to go into each issue? There's a lot of good curated content here already. Who decides on what themes go in which issue?
I think there needs to be an organizing force, other than the whims of Steemit curation. I could foresee a small team of editors taking the best curations from various subjects. And then an Chief Editor organizing the Editors into a cohesive group.
Any good candidates you can think of?
Sorry @yekrats. I must have missed this comment in my feed but I understand your concerns as they are mine also and while I would love there to be enough support and interest going forward to enable us to put together some sort of committee or editing team to decide on content etc. I've created a new account for the project called @steemfreepress and also a discord server byu the same name. I'd appreciate it if you could offer more suggestions, so feel free to leave any suggestions or comments there. The link is below.

Thanks again mate. Hope to speak with you sometime soon. :)
Thanks for the mention @plushzilla :)
This is a great idea and if I can contribute in any way, I'd definitely be up for it :)
Hey @ashleykalila. Thanks a lot for the offer of support. I'd love to do a feature in the magazine on a member of the steemit community and would love your input. It was my plan to make a post and ask the community to vote for who they would like to see represent them and I still feel this would be the way to go but I'd also be interested to know your thoughts and suggestions for future issues going forward, if there are any. :)
Thanks again, my friend. I hope you're having a great day! :)
Up for anything!
Will have a little think about it :)
Hey @ashleykalila. I just wanted to let you know I've created a new account for the magazine project I'm working on and also a discord channel... https://discordapp.com/invite/2qyYgzV ...I'd appreciate any input or thoughts you might have so please consider stopping by if you have the time. :)
Thanks a lot my friend. Hope your day is going well.
WOW! :) Thanks for all the great resources @plushzilla. I'm not the greatest at reaching out to others for help except by way of making posts but I'll have to give myself a kick up the backside and start doing so. I'm working on the premise for now that this will just be a one off publication, a test run in my own city and see what happens after that, so when the time comes I'll look at printing them locally. mI have no idea how many copies that will be or how much we will have to cover the cost of printing but if we can get a pilot edition together and get it out there no matter the actual numbers, hopefully it will generate more interest to take things further.
I've just replied to a comment and offer of help by @misslasvegas as well who has a lot of real world publishing experience which is really promising so hopefully in time we can get something decent out there. :)
I plan on making posts soon reqwuesting articles. If you have any ideas what they should be I'd be really happy to hear them.
Thanks again, my friend. Hope your day is going well! :)
I was going to join the Discord discussions (since I have problems with steemit.chat) but the link didn't work for me :p
I have been poking my nose around a few different groups lately and hence I can see all the people that would be interested in contributing to it. In fact I also missed out the #creative-commons channel and the work that @alexandravart has done there as well.
I think at least you see the point that there is no shortage of people who would love to contribute, and I am now also following @misslasvegas too because of this post. I do think that we can aim for something even a little bit bigger than what you were planning if you had more resources than you think you have available :)
This should bring you to The Isle of Write Discord server :)
Thank you so much for thinking of us @plushzilla! This sounds like a great concept and I'm sure the Isle has plenty of writers who would be interested!
No problems, I know many talented writers that are also on the isleofwrite so it has to be a must look place for good articles and great writers that will do the magazine justice :)
Hey @plushzilla. Sorry I haven't been by in a few days. I haven't been feeling too great but I've just created an account for the magazine project called @steemfreepress and also sorted out the discord channel. If you'd like to get in touch with me I'll be spending most of my time there instead of on my own blog for the next little while. :)
Hope you are good my friend. Speak soon.
