We are raising money to help launch the world's first high-end, high-fashion international drag magazine - QUEEN. This magazine will be as multifaceted as the world of drag itself. Featuring everything from glamour to avant-garde to gore, we will be showcasing all angles of drag reality: fashion, beauty, storytelling, music, dance and more. QUEEN is for everyone: from the drag enthusiast to any person that enjoys the artistry of transformation.
It will be available for subscription internationally as well as for sale at select booksellers worldwide. This magazine is for an audience that supports and enjoys the growth of drag culture into the mainstream: an audience excited for a new publication showcasing all things drag in an elegant, sexy and high-end way. The money we raise will offset the production costs and ensure the highest quality of photography, writing, design (web/print) and printing.
QUEEN magazine will be available every four months with the debut issue launching Fall 2015. It will be a book of the highest quality paper with cutting-edge design elements ensuring that each issue is certain to become a collectors item (think glitter-embossed logos and foiled cover lines on ultra-luxe paper).
Drag is a big world and we intend to show you the best of the best that every country has to offer. Investing in QUEEN will take our drag community to the next level.
Thank you in advance for your support!

Risks and challenges
The risks associated with Queen magazine are the same challenges that any publication faces. The difference is that Queen will be printed in limited quantities and all costs will be paid for up front by the publisher prior to taking delivery of the physical product. All outside orders/subscriptions will be handled directly by the publisher after the publisher has taken delivery of the magazine to ensure that all commitments will be honored. No long-term advertising commitments (a multiple issue commitment) will be paid for up front in order to protect Queen magazine and its publisher from incurring any debt in which it might not otherwise be able to fulfill.
