I paged through a couple and thought, &#8216;I could do this\u2026 &#8216; Since I was between design jobs I went home and started tooling around with InDesign. I mocked up some magazine covers. Before I knew it, I had decided that I was going to do this, for real.\u201d<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><!--block-empty--> <div class=\"row center-xs blockOffset-bottom-sm pullQuote\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-11 col-md-10\"> <div class=\"row center-xs\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-10 col-md-8\"> <p>\u201cStart a magazine?

How hard could it be? The prospect didn\u2019t even seem daunting at first,\u201d Caroline recalled. Admittedly, there was quite a learning curve. Like how to print a perfect bound book in the first place. \u201cWhile I find the design and layout portion of it really fun, I\u2019ve never run a business. There are so many moving parts to something like this,\u201c she said.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>Working with an online printer like Smartpress helped with that learning curve, too. Booklet printing is streamlined with <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/stocks-substrates\/small-format-paper-stocks\">paper stock<\/a> options, <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/color-ink\/black-vs-full-color-printing\">full-color ink<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/stocks-substrates\/text-weight-vs-cover-weight\">text weights and cover weights<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/specialty-features\/uv-coating\">UV coatings<\/a> and more to choose from.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>But the real challenge, according to Caroline, \u201cis overcoming my own self-doubt.\u201d On one hand, \u201cI&#8217;m feeling like I might actually be well suited for this kind of undertaking.\u201c she said. \u201cI was raised by two journalists and I\u2019ve worked at a newspaper. I have a feel for the editorial process and design has always been a passion of mine. But, putting something out into the world that is so personal, that\u2019s a tough thing to do. What if people don\u2019t like it?&#8221; she said.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><!--block-empty--> <!--graybar--><div class=\"ltGrayBkgd-md\"><\/div><!--\/graybar--><!--block-empty--> <div class=\"row center-xs blockOffset-bottom-sm\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-11 col-md-10\"> <div class=\"row end-xs\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-10\"> <figure class=\"figureContainer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpressblog.imgix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/northerly_booklets.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&ixlib=php-3.3.0&w=900&s=2ffde4ecad5a1a28b68622e4e3aac1d2\" alt=\"Various photography magazines laying open and on top of each other with perfect bindings and outdoor imagery.\"   data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption style=\"width: 56.2777777778%;\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Article topics include gatherings, food and outdoor experiences of the North<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>  <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><!--block-empty--> <div class=\"row center-xs blockOffset-top-sm\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-11 col-md-10\"> <div class=\"row\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-10 col-md-8\"> <h2 id=\"an-adventure-is-born\">An Adventure is Born<\/h2> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><!--block-empty--> <div class=\"row center-xs\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-11 col-md-8\"> <div class=\"row center-xs\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-10 col-md-8\"> <p>\u201cIt\u2019s like the stars aligned,\u201c Caroline said. \u201cI found good articles on how to publish a magazine, I had a name, Northerly, and an angle I liked &#8211; creating a print journal of life in the North that celebrated the seasons through gatherings, food and outdoor experiences and I knew people who could help.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>&#8220;I knew lots of writers who I could go to for submissions and story suggestions.
