MAGAZINE LIST
do you read me?! It’s a beautiful bookshop in Berlin, where beside books you can find a great selections of magazines. Spending few hours here means travelling through many different stories, it means that thinking about magazine as books to be printed still make sense not only as something to be published on the net or on tablets. The editorial formula are different but the most interesting thing is to maintain the attention around the counseling possibility between different disciplines. Then it happens that through a photo magazine we can think about the image building, or otherwise through stories we can build space. I knew some of this stories but someone else I discovered in this occasion. A common characteristic of this small panoramic are the stories told, between fiction and reality, between real and imaginary trips, all those stories telling a changing world and us changing with it.
I suggest a particular attention to McSweenet's independent magazine founded by one of the best young American writers Dave Eggers, the graphic design change every number related to the subject and the authors. I recommend two novels by Eggers

Teller
Stories told in pictures, in words, in both; short sharp stories, ‘so I once heard this story’ stories, stories of pure invention and stories that might just be true.
The Travel
The Travel Almanac is a Berlin- and New York- based print publication focusing on traveling & temporary habitation, addressing an increasingly mobilized creative community, it is the first publication of its kind to speak to this sophisticated generation of travelers. The magazine is available worldwide through finer art- and fashion-boutiques, as well as major newsstands and selected specialty stores.
apartamento
"For too many people, being happy at home is pretty much an abstract idea, something they can’t know or imagine, until it appears on some taste maker’s must-have list, or in a magazine, or reposted on Tumblr. A home sweet home is not curated or produced by acquiring a perfect arrangement of chairs, lamps and friends. A real living space is made from living, not decorating. A bored materialist can’t understand that a house has to become a home. It happens, not through perfection but by participation."
ANOTHER ESCAPE
Some favourable press swiftly followed with the magazine being picked up by Dazed & Confused, placed on The Observer’s Cool List and named as one of ‘the fresh breed of literary magazines’ by The Independent. Shortly afterwards, Prospect named Popshot as ‘the new face of British poetry’ after it became the first British poetry magazine to achieve major international distribution into 18 countries. With the launch of Issue 7, we started talking about the introduction of short stories and flash fiction into the magazine, as well as poetry. In October 2012, Popshot relaunched its eighth issue as 'The Illustrated Magazine of New Writing' firmly positioning itself as a literary magazine that champions new writing across the globe.
We all get those moments in life when we experience, if only for a second, something that utterly inspires us; we want to be a musician, a dancer, a bee keeper, a circus performer. It may be the overwhelming desire to collect new experiences, travel, or learn a new skill or language. But what if we actually played on these inspirations-turned-aspirations?
It is exhilarating to find individuals enthralled by their own lifestyle, people who inquisitively investigate their confines and comfortability and that feel creatively ambitious, whether it be in the most minute way or by a colossal change. We can take away from these energetic individuals fuel for our own motivation, and Another Escape looks to tap and bottle this invigorating subject matter, and subsequently encourage others to actively explore their own aspirations.
We are big fans of the printed word (and image), and wanted to create a well designed tactile object that could slot onto your bookcase, sit on the coffee table or be slung into a rucksack. We believe that the interaction and experience that printed material allows is invaluable, and we look to be a permanent fixture on your shelf.
Through our ethos we have created a magazine that looks to inspire and explore. In the future we look to expand our brand, but for now we are happy telling stories.
Who are we? We are a tight knit team working with various contributors.
POPSHOT
Popshot is an illustrated literary magazine that publishes short stories, flash fiction, and poetry from the literary new blood. From the pavement to the pubs to the playhouses, our peculiar little planet is full of storytelling. Popshot aims to publish just a few of the more articulate and well-observed versions of these stories, illustrated by some of contemporary illustration’s finest. The magazine is published bi-annually, in April and October. In June 2008, the idea for a poetry & illustration magazine materialised as a result of picking through the literary shelves of the now deceased Borders. There was a feeling that the world of poetry was driving itself into an elitest and fusty no-through road, and we wanted to do something about it. Combining illustration with poetry in a neat and beautifully designed format, in April 2009 the first issue of Popshot launched, thumping its chest and quoting Adrian Mitchell’s ‘Most people ignore most poetry because most poetry ignores most people’. With black pages, a sans serif typeface, and filled with vibrant illustration work, the magazine didn’t look like a poetry magazine and we were thrilled with it.

McSweenet's
With not one but two books to hold in your hands, and not two but four incredible fold-out die-cut covers to traverse with your eyes, Issue 43 packs in a pretty incredible procession of payoffs—there are new stories from Charles Baxter, T.C. Boyle, and Catherine Lacey, along with a stunning set of pieces from the newest nation in the world; there is nonfiction exploring the fate of revolutionaries in Libya and former contributors in New Orleans and long-term inmates in the United States Penitentiary in Marion, Illinois; and there are all kinds of other things to discover, too, in between those Gregory Euclide–designed covers, which you will spread out and peer through and pore over until you can take no more. Don’t let yourself miss this one!
