5. Reasons for publishing my magazine
 My magazine ‘STRINGS’ is centered around popular
acoustic artists. This includes interviews and discussions
about the latest album releases, Their social/ media life, and
When they are next performing etc…
 These articles do not require meeting the artists face to face
as that would mean budgeting for travel expenses and for the
artists to be keen for an interview within a tight schedule.
 The only interview that needed to be written with the artist
presenter was Josh allaway, ‘Life on the road’ at a local gig.
