Stuart Miller & UFO Mags
Over at American Chronicle, Stuart Miller - editor of the forthcoming Alien Worlds Magazine - takes a look at UFO publications, or rather the current lack of them, on the newsstands.
As Stuart says: Subject matters of interest generally attract newsstand magazines to support them. The range of publications that one can find on the shelves these days is so diverse that when I look at some of them, I laugh. I see a title and I think, ‘Surely no one’s going to buy that. Who has an interest in the different shell colours of a snail?’”
Stuart continues: “Firstly, I’d be wrong because retailers don’t give up valuable shelf space to products that don’t sell and secondly, I’d be further surprised when I discovered the sales figures for some of these obscure publications.”
He then goes on to say: “Which makes it all the more remarkable when one considers the phenomenal fascination that still exists for UFOs, that the range of dedicated magazines available to interested readers is so sparse. In the UK there is nothing. In the States there is UFO Magazine and in South America, a Brazilian equivalent. Fate Magazine contributes but is primarily based in the paranormal. And that’s about it. If I’ve left any out, then my apologies.”
Stuart then asks the question: “So why should this be?”
Here’s his answer.

I wish Stuart the best of luck with the magazine, so maybe someday I will be able to buy it at a more affordable price with international shipping (141 pesos for a mag is just to steep for me right now)
