About Us
MagazineWorks is a publishing collective, drawing on a trusted team of writers, editors, designers, artists, photographers and more.
We’re real, intuitive humans, extensively experienced in the publishing trade and deeply caring to deliver the high-quality publication that you and your audience deserve.
Our philosophy
MagazineWorks’ approach to publishing great magazines is based on building a collaborative relationship.
We won’t squeeze you into a pre-designed template that compromises on quality, or which prioritises AI processes to fit a budget. Instead, we consult with you to understand your content needs and desired outcomes, then design a process that achieves your goals and exceeds your expectations.
You can be as involved as you wish to be — we can keep you informed every step of the way, or you can step back while we make the magic happen.
Our outcome-driven processes ensure the publication you finally hold in your hands leaves you — and your readers — with a clear impression:
“WOW.”
Wouldn’t it be great if ...
You had a platform to highlight the stories of the people, products and systems that are the engine room of your business?
You could give your achievements and unique selling points the credit they deserve?
Your client and prospects just ‘got’ what you stand for?
You had a tool to build brand value that your competitors don’t?
Make MagazineWorks your trusted partner to create publications your business and people can be proud of.
Meet the managing editor
Steve Colquhoun is the founder and managing editor of MagazineWorks, a magazine publication specialist and respected media professional with more than 30 years’ experience as a writer and editor for some of Australia’s top publications.
In an industry in which the once-vaunted profession of editing is in danger of becoming an anachronism, Steve remains committed to the ideal of quality via commitment — keeping the big-picture objectives in line, yet also taking care of the all-important details.
He learnt the editing trade working on some of Australia’s top sub-editing desks, alongside grizzled veterans who would think nothing of halting the edition simply to fix a misplaced comma.
Such a dogmatic approach might not necessarily fly these days; but is indicative of the rigour Steve brings to overseeing MagazineWorks’ experienced team of publishing professionals.
His goal is to create a custom publication that not only looks great and feels amazing in your hands, but one in which your audience can immerse themselves in high-quality content that reflects your messaging and values.
