It’s been many months since we first started chatting, you and I, about Smash Cake Magazine.
We’re happy to be able finally to give you a first glance at what we’re working on every night until four in the morning and dreaming about when we do get to sleep. This is what it’s all about.
The artwork on our cover is a piece by the phenomenal Jasmine Worth, many of whose pieces make me want to write whole novels myself.
If you’ve pre-ordered already or you’re going to today (hint, hint!), this is what you will get:
And yes, it’s perfectly square. We have a few other stylistic surprises coming your way on the interior pages, and are building an incredible list of contributors you’ll recognize. (That’ll be announced later on, but you’ll be amazed by it, I promise. We are.)
Even our advertisements are looking pretty cool. Several of our select ad pages have already been filled; if you’d like one of those for your own book, magazine, or writing-related services, talk to us here and we’ll make it happen.
It’s coming together, ladies and gents, and this ride is only getting better. Thanks for all your support! We couldn’t do a thing without you. Honestly.

/ September 24, 2010Glad you like it, Marcus. I actually came across the artist in an article, thought about how awesome it would be to use one of her pieces for the cover, and then proceeded to actually, literally dream about. It was one of those “knowing” things, and I can’t imagine another image that captures what I wanted to put forth… this one got me.

Is it going to be that thick?
Smash Cake
/ July 17, 2010Yep yep.
And none of it’s fluff. We’ve turned down 90-95% of the material, despite what Duotrope quotes us at.
We’re getting truly awesome stuff. The plan was to keep it at a hundred pages, but we’ve already surpassed that.
Our layout figures in, too.
