Branching Out
with The Rage MonThly
Almost two years ago, while attending San Diego Pride, I was having the time of my life enjoying the
gorgeous weather and all the festivities when I happened to pick up a copy of The Rage Monthly. Having
been in the publishing industry for almost 20 years, I was immediately drawn to the fabulous design of the
Publisher Jay S. Jones
cover and very pleased when I thumbed through the publication with its quality and content. It seemed

to be speaking directly to me. I immediately introduced myself and exchanged cards with the editor at The
AssociAte Publisher Brad Hart
Rage Monthly booth. Flash two years forward, I decided again to reach out to The Rage Monthly to look for
brad@ragemonthly.com
any opportunities. To my surprise, I received an e-mail back from the Editor, Bill Biss. He told me, “The Rage editor-in-chief Bill Biss
Monthly has been experiencing such a success in the San Diego community that it is expanding.” Needless

to say, I was really impressed.
