NQ in style

We've been working on our first ever styleguide, an engrossing and exciting task. We'll be posting it on our website in the next while . It's a living document, it will evolve - but make a note to check out Bert Riggs's special section on Newfoundland-and-Labrador-specific terms (with its particular attention to dates and rankings for WWI). This blog will be quiet for the next few weeks, but we'll still be posting to Facebook, and if you check back here in early July we'll pick up our conversation!

MagNet & Mary Pratt

And we're back from four days of seminars and sessions, meet and greets and exchanging business cards. Lots of energy and ideas out there in magazine-land, which is, of course, more and more synced to social media-land. Also had the lovely opportunity to see Mary Pratt's new Toronto show, and we'll have imagery and a review in the Fall Issue (publishing September 5). And note this exhibition comes in advance of her major retrospective at The Rooms next Spring. (Image: Poppyseed Cake, Glazed for Calypso, collectionscanada.gc.ca.)

Heads up Toronto

Tomorrow we hit town for the Magazines Canada Conference - a fine organization we belong to, as you can see. We'll also have a chance to hobnob with MUN Alumni at the Irish Embassy tomorrow evening, so if you're in the vicinity of Yonge & Wellington, stop by. (I'll be sending some photos to our Facebook page, snappy updates through the week.) (Image: chuckmantorontonostalgia.files.wordpress.)
