Hunter & Coastal Lifestyle Magazine on the market after 15 years
Marilyn and Phil Collins, publishers of Hunter & Coastal Lifestyle Magazine have put the title up for sale, after more than 15 years of covering the Hunter Valley and Central Coast region.
The magazine celebrates the region, its people and lifestyle featuring recipes, book reviews and, more recently, weddings.
Since launch, Marilyn Collins has been responsible for the editorial while her husband Phil Collins has handled advertising. One other graphic designer works full time on the publication. The 180 page title is printed with Blue Star and costs $9.90.
The couple, who have been in business together for the last 49 years, were also behind the Morisset and Westlake Courier which ran from 1984-1995. It was sold to Fairfax Media and later closed down.
I was wondering if the magazine has been passed into new hands yet.
What would be involved in taking over production please?
If it is in new hands – how could my daughter and I become regular contributors?
