LONDON, August 8, 2008 – A new, sophisticated, gay lifestyle magazine for women launches in print on Monday in the UK. It is online from today
The magazine, crAve, offers a fresh, entertaining and unique approach to gay lifestyle issues and combines a mix of celebrity interviews, intelligent relationship features, news, advice and a whole lot more.
The crAve team have massive publishing experience and several of the team have worked on the national press.
The first issue includes features with highly respected actress Sophie Ward who talks exclusively about her latest movie, life, love and her current addiction to 'Wii Guitar Hero'.
Award winning comedian Zoe Lyons takes time out to chat about her career and her love of parallel parking, while acclaimed author Manda Scott gives us an insight into her mind.
Lifestyle features include: Internet relationships; asks if you are committing emotional infidelity; a unique and light-hearted look at our love-hate relationship with the word ‘lesbian; and and ‘undercover report’ to find out what women really want from their adverts in the magazine personal columns.
“Like with any magazine, crAve will have its own unique style and personality, which will ultimately be shaped and moulded by our readers feedback,” said crAve editor Sam Eastwood.
“We aim to provide stimulating and informative articles on a diverse range of subjects, and not just entirely gay related – after all, there is a lot more to life than just sexuality, and the L Word.
“Just because a woman is gay doesn’t mean that everything she reads has to be ‘gay-related’,” she insisted.
“We have tried to put together a publication that is entertaining, good fun and will be a great coffee-table read.
“crAve is for lesbians, bisexual and those who are unsure about their sexuality.
“People have been incredibly enthusiastic so far – and those who have seen samples have been really impressed,” Ms. Eastwood pointed out.
“Retail giants Marks & Spencer are advertising extensively – in crAve, the first time they have ever advertised in a gay publication,” she revealed.
“[That] shows that we are producing a quality product.”
■ crAve is published bi-monthly and retails at £3.25. Issue One is now available (in pdf format) from the magazine’s website at a cost of £2.95. Print copies will be available in UK from all branches of Borders and other selected independent newsagents from August 14. crAve is available in USA and other countries through Worldwide Magazine Distribution.
