Bumper to Bumped

So I was a little zealous with sourcing stories for my second issue of Outline magazine before I went overseas at the end of May. By the time I returned and started editing and layout in early July, I realised I was heading towards a bumper issue. That was when I decided to bump some of the stories to the spring edition. I cut it back down to size from about 60 pages to 38, which is what the first issue numbered, and it was published this week. I’ve had some lovely feedback already, which is very encouraging.

The bonus is that now I have much, much less work to do for spring, particularly since I have less time to put it together. Hooray!
