Our Story
Captivated by the aesthetics of classic cinema, Whisperings of Anna is a blend of vintage glamour and modern elegance, a love letter to old Hollywood.
Inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald's words, "...among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars" , the 'Whisperings' in Whisperings of Anna is symbolic of the alluring, dreamlike glamour of Hollywood's heyday, much like Fitzgerald's words represent the fanciful charm of the 1920s. 'of Anna' was initially an illustration that this is Anna's artistic vision, although it has now come to represent the visions of many women.
Whisperings of Anna serves as a source of inspiration from self-love to fashion as well as old Hollywood aesthetics and empowerment, all with a touch of classic glamour. The magazine also acts as a platform for women from across the globe to showcase their works and talents.
Each issue is created with love, care and passion by our team. We will, and always will, treat the magazine as a piece of art, our words and designs creating the textures of emotion and layers of beauty that inevitably accompany any artistic creation. It always comes with a risk to take aesthetic choices and inspiration from a period of history, particularly a time that holds a great deal of emotional scars and painful reminders of society's horrific attitudes. We are not in anyway attempting to revive old Hollywood or the 1950s, rather using its aesthetics as artistic inspiration and implementing the empowerment and inclusion that should have been prevalent during this time into the magazine.
We hope that you will join us on our journey as we learn and grow and continue to share what we love with you.
I love your Magazin so much, do you ever plan to publish it internationally as a physical magazine?
ReplyDeleteYes! Print copies are in our future. We can't wait too! xx
DeleteI want to get into journalism as well and I would really love to have my own magazine one day, do you have any tips on starting? And do you know a site where you can sell your digital magazines?
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, and wonderful to here!
DeleteHere's some very brief advice:
- Go and study journalism/ media. A degree will give you experience, a way into the industry and an opportunity to practice and re-work your writing.
- Grow your (brand) socials, especially Pinterest. Having an already established audience prior to launching a magazine is a cheat-sheet to success.
- Have unique and refreshing content that is able to capture an audience. It needs to be interesting, and tell a story.
- Designing is as crucial as writing. Hone your aesthetic style and practice making editorial layouts.
- To sell, there are endless options. You could take the route of advertising on your website, affiliate links or introducing a subscription. Keep in mind, money should not be the goal, and it will take a long time to build a magazine large enough to be profitable.
Hope this helps!
