Articles in the magazine will include several features of big artists
within the genre right now, album reviews, and even essays on the
genre itself. I want it to be as diverse as possible when it comes to
the types of content being featured in it in order to help keep readers
engaged and interested. For the feature articles, I plan on featuring
popular artists, but also some of my personal favorites as well, includ-
ing boygenius, Camp Cope, and Snail Mail. I want to include several
albums reviews of some of the biggest indie albums and EPs that have
come out in the past year or so. I would also like to showcase articles
that include essays about things going on within the genre and the
future of it as well.
This magazine would be in competition with various other indie
music publications, including DIY Magazine, Under the Radar, and The
Fader Magazine. Articles in the magazine will include several features

says on the genre itself. - Hannah Charles

musicians are in fact women. Many music magazines
are full of mostly men, and I think it would be a

crowd because of its showcase of solely women, and its
focus on females in the genre. I want this magazine to feel
personal, so I will be including portraits and live shots of
these musicians during performances. Doing this will reflect
the attitudes and music of many of these artists, who often
times create music in their bedrooms and basements using
their own equipment. WIIM
