You have an excellent idea for a new magazine. You're excited and are ready to make it happen! There's just one problem; your knowledge related to magazine publishing is very limited or, worse still, you have no knowledge or experience at all! However, you remain confident that your concept is worth pursuing and know it will be a success. What should you do?  Well the short answer is you should absolutely go for it! Not having a magazine publishing background should not be a rationale for not trying to bring your magazine concept to fruition. With that said, however, it should be rather obvious that you will need a lot help along the way and that's where consulting with someone who's knowledgeable about the process comes in.
