I'VE BEEN RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE NOW

Back then, everyone asked me WHY. Now they ask me HOW.

Deciding to start a magazine changed my entire life. I've interviewed people I never could have imagined, I've produced covers that still blow my mind, I've been featured on Forbes. But if there's one thing I'd go back and tell myself, it's that you don't have to have all the answers right now. You just have to leap.

and nowI know how to help!

The Editor Academy is the ONLY course of its kind.

AND MY STUDENTS WILL AGREE.

No other course will teach you how to start from scratch, go step-by-step through important aspects like building your editorial strategy, designing, marketing, monetizing, and ultimately finish with an issue your readers will love to flip through, click through, and hopefully, subscribe to.

This is the course I wish I had over a decade ago when I set out to fill a gap in the market with my first magazine. And now I'm filling a gap again with The Editor Academy.
