For the past few months, I've been a contributor to the Worthwhile Magazine blog where a bunch o' bloggers — including Tom Peters, Halley, David Batstone and the magazine's editors — talk about what makes working worthwhile. Interesting idea (all hail Halley): Do the blog before the magazine. Now the magazine itself is getting ready to launch in October, and for US$11 you can have a postal employee slap a copy down on your doorstep (or outside your carton depending on how the Bush economic recovery is working out for you) once a month for a year. There's a subscription button at the WorthwhileMag blog site. (FWIW, and by way of disclosure: I have a title with the magazine similar to Senior Editor and will be writing a monthly column. And, Anita Sharpe and Kevin Salwen, the founding editors (ex of the WSJ, with a Pulitzer on one of their shelves), have agreed that in lieu of running a photo of me with the column, they're instead going to include a scratch 'n' sniff strip. Win-win! Posted

I will have to continue reading the blog, which doesn't suffer from "only-in-the-USA" syndrom. I actually might have to thank all the USA magazines for not shipping to Europe easily. It saves money and I would never get time to read any books anymore ;)
Greetings from Germany.

Is the magazine monthly? The subscription button offer is for 6 issues which suggests bimonthly (once every two months).

I don't know how often it comes out, which I probably should since I'm writing for it. Thanks for the catch, John. I'll amend the main post.

It is indeed bi-monthly for the first year, or six issues. John is right. Um, scratch n sniff David? We may need to put it next to the perfume ads...

I'm looking forward to it!
