What if anything do you think would help us get started with a quick layout? Do you have any place on the net that could help us out with a drag and drop top format. Where we would be able to drag and drop our article in a layout and move forward from there?

Hi Lexcy:

Thanks for your inquiry. Well, I don't think there are any "quick fixes" for doing a magazine layout. It takes time and planning. However, you have a few options in this regard:

1) You can hire a graphic artist to do your layout. You can visit the "Links" page on my website and see a listing of graphic design companies or do a search on Google to find some in your area.

2)You can purchase the magazine layout software yourself and do your own layout. Be advised that the software for magazine layouts is quite expensive; anywhere from $600 to $1,200 per program. However, in my book, The Magazine Layout Software Brief available in the 'Download Catalog' section of this site, I list a retailer where you can get them for less than $200 dollars!!

3)You can do a search on Google for magazine layout templates. However, there are many scam websites that really don't offer quality layouts. If you want a professional looking publication, in my opinion, it would be a good idea to use a graphic artist.
Good luck!
