- Film Stories magazine will publish every five weeks (with a longer gap at the end of the year to give us a Christmas break), which is pretty much where we’ve been for the last year. It’s a tiny difference on our first year, but it means your subscriptions will last a little longer, and it gives me extra time too. Also, it gives me a few more days with each issue to sell the magazine, which remains crucial. I’ll be writing to subscribers once the schedule is locked down too. I canāt thank you all enough for backing the publication.
- Film Stories Junior will publish four times a year, around school holidays. If sales increase, and more sponsors come on board (is that you? Iām at simon at filmstories co uk), I’d love to get this up to at least six times a year, but for the minute, I have to firmly work within my means to keep everything going long term.
- I’m introducing into Film Stories magazine a letters page. Send your missives to letters at filmstories co uk!
- The website is growing quickly. Thank you again. I’m determined to use it to help others too. We’ll be adding regular reviews of children’s books shortly, to counteract the fact that so many newspapers have had to cut back on them. I also want to shine even more light on UK independent films and websites. More on that shortly.
- I’m also looking to experiment with a little more television coverage on the website, but that has to be something that I add (it would be at the expense of any movie coverage, and thatās not a dig at other outlets either).
- The podcast will continue on a weekly basis, with two breaks per year. I’m actively seeking regular sponsors for that too – do feel free to get in touch if that’s you!
- I’m also toying with Film Stories books and have a few options there. Realistically, crowdfunding may be the way to get those going again, but I’m wary of asking the same people to support me. I need to wrap my head around that a little.
