The November magazine is live and it’s a great issue this month! This particular magazine has been in the works for a long time and we’re super excited about it! We contacted Natalie, a macrame artist, almost a year ago after she got a book published about her craft. It turned out, she was actually in the process of publishing her second book, so we decided to wait to share her story until after both books were out. And now they are! Our second featured seller, Anna, helped create over 30 best-selling craft magazines and now she’s incorporating what she learned about content creation into her jewelry business. And of course, we have LOTS of other great topics for you, too!
Here’s a preview of what’s inside this issue:
