RedStar Magazine
In August, 2003 I co-founded RedStar Consultancy to publish RedStar magazine in Qingdao, China. The magazine began as an entertainment guide, but quickly evolved into a business resource and Web site.
I credit my time creating RedStar for teaching me an enormous amount about the various elements required to publish a commercially successful magazine i.e. editorial, design, printing, marketing, sales, accounting and distribution. I also began to experiment with streaming user-generated content from the RedStar listings datbase into the print magazine.
After two years of publishing RedStar, I joined City Weekend as Managing Editor in Beijing and Shanghai, China. RedStar is still published today by my former business partner, Ian Burns. See recent thumbnail image below.
