AMA: Kai Brach, Publisher of Offscreen Magazine
over 7 years ago from Kai Brach, Publisher at Offscreen Magazine
The short version:
Kai Brach here, publisher of Offscreen Magazine (www.offscreenmag.com), a small, print-only indie publication about the people behind the internet and technology, now coming up to issue #12! Ask me anything (except for an e-book version) starting on Tuesday, June 30th from 3pm in US West Coast time!
The longer version:
Howdy! Still Kai Brach here. I'm a German-born (and speaking), Australia-based web-designer-turned-print-publisher of Offscreen Magazine (www.offscreenmag.com), a print-only indie magazine about people who use the internet and technology to be creative, solve problems, and build successful businesses.
Offscreen is a one-man publication, edited, designed and published by just me, mostly from my spare bedroom in Melbourne, Australia and various cafés around the place. However, the magazine is printed in and shipped from Berlin in Germany. I've tried to Kickstart the inaugural issue in late 2011, which failed, so I published the first issue with my own funding in Feb 2012. Now working on issue no12. You can see and purchase previous issues here: www.offscreenmag.com/issues
I've learned a lot from being a magazine noob, all of which I share regularly on my blog in extensive behind-the-scenes posts: blog.offscreenmag.com
I also regularly share my experience through talks at conferences. Next stop is HybridConf in Dublin in August this year: blog.offscreenmag.com/post/121171182191/as-usual-im-making-my-travel-plans-public-so-i
Here is a little video about me that the awesome guys from envato recorded late last year: www.offscreenmag.com/about/
A few months ago I also started a newsletter side-project called The Modern Desk, which is a brief weekly list of notable office accessories and apps: www.themoderndesk.com
I'm answering questions starting on Tuesday, June 30th from 3pm in US West Coast time (which is Wednesday morning, 8am in Melbourne. Yes, I'll be writing from the future.)
