About the Program
We are not currently taking applications for Magazine Coach consultations. Please check back in late September.
Why your member magazine should participate
Participants of this program have overwhelmingly given their consultants top marks, judging that their time and money was well spent and that the consultation and coach made a significant positive impact on their magazine.
Consultations
When supported by a funder, MagsBC offers half-day consultations on a specific issue or initiative between an expert or consultation team and member magazine staff.
Members pay a modest contribution towards the cost to help leverage the funding (less for a very small magazine).
Members apply for the consultation, fill out a pre-consultation survey, have a short chat beforehand and a consultation with the expert, and receive a 1-2 page summary of recommendations.
Members can suggest an expert, but we may choose to assign a coach we feel is a better fit, or who has more knowledge and experience. See below for some of our highly rated experts.
