Crystal Lake Publishing - updates, new releases, open subs, award wins etc.

[Joe Mynhardt]

Authors, the Crystal Lake Academy is launching this year, and the first step in that launch is our The Author’s Journey project.

Our team of editors (and the Crystal Lake Publishing founder & CEO, Joe Mynhardt) want to facilitate your writing journey for three months (from June 15th to September 15th), improving your craft and helping you get a short story or manuscript ready for submission.

This course, although not recommended to newbies, is for authors at any stage of their writing journey. We’ll pair you in groups of similarly experienced authors to guarantee growth. You can even purchase it for a friend!

When we’re done, we’ll personally consider each short story for possible publication, and we’ll offer a first-look option for those who worked on manuscripts, for possible publication by Crystal Lake Publishing.

If you are a full-time writer and want to publish your magazine then there are a few things you should take care of.  Like will you should publish your magazine online or offline. Or will it cover regional or international topics? One of the most essential things you should keep in mind is to do a bit of research about what or who will be in your competition or how will your magazine of yours stand out differently? Then the next important thing is content. Take your time and publish quality content on your website. Focus on quality above quantity when self-publishing a magazine. Don't be scared to start little and gradually increase your page count. It is preferable to have ten pages of good content rather than twenty pages of mediocre material. Additionally, more regular releases will aid in the growth of your audience. If shorter publications entail more regular issues, you can take advantage of the lower duration. Then layout your magazine and most importantly proofread it as much as you can.
