A Week in Independent Publishing

It’s been another busy week at the Working Class Publishing office! It’s that time of the quarter again to work on our favorite services project – the new issue of Camp Out Magazine. It’s the “Winter Wonderland” issue, so there’s some fun winter and Christmas themed nudie-girl spreads.

In each issue of Camp Out we also run an ad – usually there’s some crossover with one of our authors shooting one of the sets, so we run an ad for their book. But this year we also wanted to push an ad for Christmas sales, so of course we had to shoot something last minute with the ever-incredible Ginny Rosewater.

Because Ginny’s awesome, she met us at the Create studio with her own Santa Costume. Here’s some super cute behind-the-scenes:

Here’s the finished ad:

Once the ad was done, we whipped through the magazine layout all week. We’re 6 issues in now, so the process goes pretty quickly. Here’s a Steemit-only sneak peak of the cover:

While working on that, we’ve been pushing ahead on another services project. Our customer is asking to print a historical Firearms Identification manual that he found from the 1930’s. It’s a fun design project because we have to recreate the original typewriter pages (which can be a little bit of a challenge). He’s a sample of the spreads:

Exciting sample spread!

The last exciting thing that happened this week was that our printer sent us some images of the tear sheets of Dollface Vintage by Cherry Dollface – hot off the press! Check these out:

Thanks for sharing another busy week with us! We’re headed to Minneapolis tomorrow to catch a few shows and start production on our next book, Dark Pinup by @kommienezuspadt. Stay tuned!
