The Paperbook Collective ~ Issue One 2013

written by

Here it is!

It’s here at last!

I’m not going to lie, guys, the past few hours have been out of this world. I have never felt so much adrenaline and panic coursing through my veins in my life. There was much cursing, a lot of praying and moments of downright madness. I kept wanting to rush to the kitchen for a drink but THERE WASN’T TIME!!!

So, I do apologise that this is arriving 26 minutes after 5 pm, but I actually had to reorganise the magazine after I uploaded it, as the pages were not in the correct order.

But, with no further ado, I give you The Paperbook Collective. 

Want to know about the name? Read the magazine to find out more!!

Here is the PDF version for your perusal:

The Paperbook Collective_Issue One2013

And of course, the online version published through ISSUU:

The Paperbook Collective_Issue One 2013

Please let me know if either of these links are not working, I am brand new to this so I am working on a wing and a prayer right now. It am also in the process of embedding the magazine onto my blog, so stay tuned.

I will be back very shortly with more details, but right now I’m going into the kitchen, cracking the gin and pouring myself a drink the size that no one has ever taken on and survived.

I hope I have done your work justice.

Cheers everyone.

Jayde.

    Just downloaded the pdf. Looks BRILLIANT. I think you deserve more than one gin. Congrats. Humungous effort.

    Looks excellent! Very eclectic. I’ll have a thorough read of it later. Have you considered, after about five or six issues, compiling them into a proper book? Lulu’s worth checking out for that sort of thing.

    Genom denna helt nya nättidning har möjlighet att både ta del av och inspireras av andras verk och att skicka in dina egna! Den är värd att titta in i bara för att njuta layouten. Initiativtagare är Jayde Ashe, och hon står för koncept och layout samt sammanställning. Ett fantastiskt snyggt jobb!

    I saw your post earlier and am just not getting back to it. I’d like to say that this has to be one of the most awesome, most inspirational things I’ve seen a blogger do here. Your magazine is epic, the layout is exquisite, and the obvious hard work that you put into this I’d say paid off nicely! Congratulations, Jayde, and much success to you with this endeavor.

    Fantastic! I downloaded the PDF late last night. Haven’t had a chance to read it all the way through, but it’s beautiful! A link from my blog should be up shortly.

    Rock on, Ms. Jayde!

      Jay makes a good point, Jayde. It would be better to put out a Paperbook Collective issue 2-4 times a year than for it to become a nightmarish deadline for you. This should always be something you LOVE to do.

        A good point John, luckily I am at a point in my life where I have time on my hands. And despite the stresses that accompany producing a magazine, it is something I absolutely adore doing. Isn’t there a quote that goes: ‘if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life’ 🙂

    Visiting here from Leya’s blog and so glad I made the trip 🙂 Congratulations on the first issue! Looks fantastic – now to read up on the contributors.

        I’m thinking about it, yes! I’ll also pass the link to my writers group. I hope that at least one of us will send you something 🙂
