Readers living in small towns in America, Canada and elsewhere may be interested in some new ‘donationware’ I’ve just designed and released, over on my JURN site. It’s a $23 Microsoft Publisher 2013 template for a ‘small town America’ magazine, aimed at those engaged in reviving and boosting their small town. A quick post on your own small town Facebook group etc, promoting my new template, will help support my JURN open access journal search service.

The 28-page U.S. Letter-size template comes as a .pub source-file for MS Publisher 2013, Microsoft’s affordable and easy-to-learn DTP software (part of their popular MS Office family). The template can, of course, be easily adapted to suit many other quality location-based magazine audiences, and the small town theme is just there to give a new editor something to quickly build on.
