Hi my name is Spiridon and I'm the founder of the Firestarter Magazine and
the case you never heard of the Firestarter Magazine
let me just shortly explain what all this is about.
The Firestarter Mag is highlighting international events for creatives.
Their speakers are interviewed by us and we also publish
their talks which they gave at said events. I feel like the community really needs
an overview and especially a network that informs about
WHO you can meet and WHAT you can learn at WHICH event
The magazine is printed twice a year with currently 5,000 copies each
which are given away for free to all attendees
of partnering European events. The mags can also be downloaded through patreon
Gumroad and Cubebrush. So the concept seems pretty altruistic at first and the
work that a product like this takes is usually something a team would handle
but in case of firestarter it works a bit different so the last magazine was
created with the help of 60 people including interviewers, interviewed
people, the artists who create the portraits, the cover artists and even
organizers and their assistants. So the other tasks like finding sponsors,
marketing, corresponding with the contributors (new and old ones)
and laying out the whole magazine to get it printed are on me
and frankly said I really love it.
The problem is to accept the help of so many people with no perspective
on compensating them for the work and as we all know free work stinks.
So this is what I'm calling for the support of the community
to help me giving back by asking my readers to give back.
We have proven for a year now that this altruistic model works and that the
framework is there. We also have proven that working together for a bigger cause
is possible and the people in the community that we actively help are the living proof.
So starting next year (I'm recording this right now end of December)
so starting 2019 Firestarter is launching a monthly edition of the
magazine which will be bringing like 10 additional webzines a year (additional
to the two big ones) that contain tutorials, interviews, lectures, reviews of
crowdfunding campaigns, of books, of Patreon accounts, but also more art from you guys.
The project launched on April 2017 and in a matter of months we were
able to go from 400 copies of THIS to 5000 copies of THIS: 80 pages in an A5 booklet
to 184 pages in A4 magazine, so thanks to the support of the companies
and Studios we were able to print all together 12,000 copies of the map since
it launched and they all found their way into the community's hands through the
partnering events. Through a newsletter system we are also informing subscribers
about upcoming events and new articles on the page.
See how Firestarter can become even better than before
with fair compensation and a common goal
to cultivate this community that we love to be a part of so much and yeah that's it
so thank you for your time and tell your friends about this
