My magazine

My magazine would be like Algarabia or Reader's Digest full of different topics, specially cultural events, gastronomy, linguistics and science.

It would be in Spanish, and as I learn more, in English and/or French.

Sections (not necessarily in that order):

• Editorial
• Festivals, parades and all kinds of cultural events
• Places to visit: parks, museums, buildings...
• Places to eat: review of restaurants, one Mexican and one international
• The ingredient of the month: 2 recipes, one Mex, one int'l, and all the scientific facts about it.
• Interviews: Experiences of Mexicans in Montreal, and of Montrealers welcoming the Mexicans
• Linguistics: Theme of the month, grammatical errors, funny signs... with explanation and back up of the correct... And possibly remarks of things in English and French that are strange for us...
• News: 2 cultural, 2 financial/economic, 2 civic, 2 leisure, 2 sports, mixed Montreal (most) and important Mexican things.
• Leisure: Word puzzles, quizzes, sudoku, adivinanzas, riddles and more (with answers in the next issue)
• Our readers comments (5 each month)
• Classifieds (possibly)
• Ads (with discounts)
• Central page: Photo of the month (by me, collaborators or readers)

Possibly web site, Fb and Tw.

Free or little price, according to ads.

Distribution in cafeterias, restaurants, grocery shops and all places related to Mexico, including language schools and the Mexican Consulate (obtain approval/support from them), and Mexican associations/groups. Also, distribution in events.

Steps:

• Create sample (by myself or looking for collaboration)
• Market research
• Find printing services
• Look for sponsors/support/distribution with sample
• Distribute it for free and start creating anticipation for readers (contest, sales, gifts)/social media too.
• Create media kit and production calendar with all year subjects.

This is just the beginning!!!

Must I take the NYU course?

Can I do this at the same time that my PhD in Food Sc??? (do I really want to do it?/PhD)

Can I do it alone?

How much investment (money and time) do I need?

In how much time will I start seeing the results I want?
