September 22 Recap: The Sun Magazine
The Sun Magazine
Tim McKee-managing editor
About the Sun Magazine:
• National Magazine with 70 thousand US readers, some subscribers around the world
• Began with Sy Sfransky. Felt that most publications were unsubstantial—lacked life, real stories
• In 1974 he began putting out a magazine made on a Xerox machine, stapled, sold on the streets of CH for a quarter.
• Ad-free as of 1990: intimate writing, advertising gets in the way of the relationship between the reader and the piece of art in the magazine. Editor feels the story deserved full attention
• Contains interviews called the “thinker,” essays, photo essays, poetry, etc.
• Editors marry photos submissions with story submissions.
• “The way you mix stories and images to make the most potent mix possible is really the hallmark of journalism”
About Editing
• Every piece has been through 5 rounds of editing to make the story as powerful and readable as possible. No distracting words or extra baggage
• “Are you telling a good story? Is it going to get in their [the readers’] hearts or minds?”
• “Every writer, no matter how good you are, needs an editor”
• Tip: Know the tools of the trade—learn the ins and outs of language. Mechanics and all.
• “Really be immersed in the trenches of language is the key”
• Editing is sculpting (microediting)
• Macroediting: seeing the big picture of how everything comes together (within the story and within the issue)
• Be interested. How do people tell stories? How is it put together? What devices were used? How could it be better?

The magazine needs interns, but has not created an intern program yet.
