Hot Off the Presses: Jane Austen's World Magazine Redesigned

The publication remains the official magazine of the Jane Austen Centre, but it now boasts a simplified though more professional format, a font based on Jane Austen's handwriting, a news section, and guest writers. The magazine has a circulation of 1,000, which the new owners would like to double this year.
