Our covers featured indiepunk stalwarts like Sleater-Kinney and Le Tigre as well as up-and-coming comedians and musicians at the time like Sarah Silverman and M.I.A.

The magazine focuses on music from a woman’s perspective. In a much more sober vein, the investigative monthly Chicago Reporter (chicagoreporter.com), published by the nonprofit Community Renewal Society, does some rigorous research and data crunching on issues of race and urban poverty. Rounding out this trifecta is Stop Smiling (stopsmilingonline.com), a glossy lifestyle mag published approximately every couple of months out of a Wicker Park storefront that doubles as an event space called “The Syndicate.” Stop Smiling bills itself as “the magazine for high-minded lowlifes,” with each issue organized around a theme.

I’ve been lucky enough to work full time for an awesome company that lets me work remotely, and while I still enjoy telling other people’s stories, I’m ready to start sharing my own again, so thank you for reading.
