Member Magazines & Newsletters

Editorial design, content development, and print production for member magazines, monthly newsletters, and seasonal publications — the keepsake your members actually read.

“A member magazine that arrives in a member’s mailbox is one of the few times the club gets unhurried, undistracted attention. Done well, it’s the most-read marketing piece a club produces. Done poorly, it goes straight to recycling.”

A Complete Editorial Program

We don’t just design issues — we run the editorial program. Calendar, content development, photography direction, design, production, and distribution as a managed service or as a delivery to your in-house team.

01

Editorial Strategy

Annual editorial calendar, departments, recurring features, and special issues planned around the club’s programming and membership cycle.

02

Design System

Masthead, typography, grid, photography style, and department architecture — built so every issue feels like the same publication.

03

Content Development

Member feature interviews, event recaps, professional staff profiles, and editorial copy — written, edited, and proofread to the brand voice.

04

Photography Direction

Cover shoots, feature shoots, event coverage, and archive curation — coordinated with our photography team or yours.

05

Print Production

Paper selection, press supervision, bindery, and quality control — produced in formats from saddle-stitch newsletters to perfect-bound member magazines.

06

Digital Companion

Optional digital edition, email distribution, and member portal hosting — the print piece extended into the channels members already use.

Our Editorial Process

01

Plan the Issue

Editorial calendar review, issue planning meeting, content commitments confirmed, and the production timeline locked at issue kickoff.

02

Produce & Edit

Writers, editors, photographers, and designers execute against the issue plan. Two rounds of editorial review with the GM and committee.

03

Print & Distribute

Final files to printer, press supervision, mail-house coordination, and on-property delivery — arriving in members’ mailboxes on schedule.
