About us
magCulture is a London-based creative company specialising in all aspects of magazine-making. As well as advising publishers on their creative and practical strategies, we celebrate the world of magazines in a broader sense, offering support and inspiration via our online Journal, regular live events and podcast. Interested readers can browse and buy magazines from our central London shop (The same stock is available worldwide via our online Shop). ‘We love magazines’ is our battle cry, expressing the belief that magazine-making is an ever-developing discipline that continues to adapt to technologies and circumstances. We celebrate historical and contemporary magazines while questioning what their future might be, and believe independent voices in print are more important than ever, as digital channels get ever-more efficient at serving us what we already expect/know. Let serendipity rule! In particular, we support and promote the new generation of independent print magazines that has come to the fore this century. This hugely inspiring sector of publishing—the only one showing regular, continuous growth—has bucked the prevailing trend by using digital platforms to power their global success. magCulture is led by creative director and founder Jeremy Leslie, who has worked with magazines for over 35 years. Starting as an art director on major consumer titles, Jeremy has worked on customer magazines and indies, and in print and digital. He written several books about magazine design, has lectured on the subject across the world, and contributes regularly to creative publications. He was awarded the BSME’s Mark Boxer Award for contribution to the magazine industry in 2018.

New on the Journal: At Work With Sophia Epstein, editor, Digital Frontier ‘Print is just everything, isn’t it? We’ve got a website too, but nothing compares to the feeling of holding something weighty in your hands, turning physical pages, it’s a whole different experience and I don’t think that’s just a romantic notion, I think people—even digital-tech-loving people—want that’

Lars Harmsen tells us how his design magazine Slanted has developed over 43 issues, ‘In my opinion, design is not as important as the idea behind it. Good design no longer means that much to me. I'm more interested in the message.’

Hope Cunningham tells us about her magazine Chicken Bread, ‘All the food media I consumed was through a white lens so it felt right for the spotlight to be on PoC for once, especially since that was the food I grew up eating.’
