Maura Magazine

we're figuring out alternative distribution methods! believe me i and my writers/editors want as much of your money as possible

Hi Maura! I really like yr magazine a lot!!

The articles are the perfect size, the issues are easily digestible without feeling skimpy or too short, and reading them while I sip my morning tea has become a welcome addition to my morning routine.

was disappointed the article on "Ted" wasn't about TED, but instead novelty twitter accounts (and not good ones).

thank you so much for reading guys <3

It's great!

I apologize for the self-serving question but I figured people might want to know: can we pitch you with story ideas?

andy beta piece about dub and football is something else

maura magazine, alone among all magazine, takes no pitches. stories are assigned directly from the archangel Azazel who writes their synopses with fire on beaches along the red sea.

This is how it should be!

Worth mentioning this week's NPR Planet Money broadcast on the subscription model for blogs, which primarily featured Andrew Sullivan's new paywall, but had a substantial sidebar on Maura.

you can drop me a line at maura at maura dot com

i am already like a month behind : /

me too. i'd be more inclined to keep up with this if the issues were like 450 mb each, because i'd have to read them to make space on my ipad (e.g. fast company, which i am not renewing because the issues are like 450 mb each)

in fact, if you want reliable ipad readership your issues should all be 7 gb

I am going to send a pitch to maura at maura dot com

i hope it's a knuckleball

that your way of calling me a knucklehead pal

peut-être

We are having a party tomorrow if you want to come:

working a show, but there in spirit

hope to see you in a few days!

Here is a snazzy web form for submissions, should you feel so inclined:

Nonfiction only please!!

:-D

by popular demand: the web version

http://mauramagazine.com/

I wouldn't say it's a blogsite exactly, it's Maura Magazine.

hey I have a comment/suggestion -- I notice the article links on the main page only have the often enigmatic story titles, with no subheader or anything to tell you what the story is about. That might make some people less likely to read the articles (unless your hope is to *intrigue* people into clicking without knowing what they're getting into). I would be more likely to read stuff on the site with a better idea of what the articles are about before clicking.

thanks! there are subheads on the issue pages:

ah cool, so it wasn't a style choice then, in which case I think it would help to have them on the main page too if that can be made to work

Maura, it seems like people who aren't in the US/Can/Aus can't subscribe yet, is this right?

You should be able to!

tugboat yards' payment system only recognises three countries ;_;

God, the comments on that Verge article. People are the worst.

Don't read comments

Does anyone else besides me see ILX as one big comment thread sometimes

just the threads you're on

i saw that coming.

that's what she said

i am going to look into this!

also, lol @ tech guys who think 'maura magazine' is less of an 'egotistical' name than 'THE MAGAZINE.' i'm so sad i don't have a software developer cult of personality u_u

(jk i'm not)

(sad i mean)

lol @ men forever though, i mean what

u made stewie vomit

So, from that interview above, it seems that there is going to be a print version available? Still no ipad/iphone so excited if that's the case.
