Independent Publishing Raw Print is a monthly lecture series which invites independent magazine publisher to talk about their work. It started as a University project, but meanwhile it became public in collaboration with Ideas on Paper which is a magazine and book store in Nottingham. The first Raw Print event I visited was about the DIY magazine Caboodle and the motorcycle magazine Sideburn. I especially liked the magazine Caboodle, because it is like a showcase for creatives and the editor Kayti Peschke works often with people who haven’t published before. The magazine has a colorful, quirky and girlie look, which fits perfectly with the content. Both talked about how important it is to promote theirselves and that social medias, such as Instagram, are an important and useful instrument to draw intention to their magazines. Furthermore, they described how challenging it is to work as a freelancer and that you really need to be passionate about your work. I’m planning to continue my work as a freelancer after my degree, and the talks gave me some ideas how I can push my career a bit further..
