PUBLICATION PLAN

Rationale: I want this magazine to be for people who are really into their music. I want everyone who reads my magazine to enjoy reading the long articles as well as the short. The audience will feel relaxed and satisfied with information. I want people to be able to get everything they want after my magazine yet be left wanting more for the next issue.
