Finally, you need to polish your concept. You can hire a freelance writer or find someone who has the same business interest as you do to write the story for you. Look for a professional who has experience writing magazine covers. If you're not comfortable with writing the story yourself, make sure you find someone who will. This is a great way to get a couple of high quality articles for your magazine cover.
After you have a story to support your idea, you need to make a few changes and make sure everything is perfect before you print your first issue. Make sure your layout and photography work well together. Also, if you plan to use colors, make sure you pick colors that will go with your layout and images.
When you've finished your magazine cover, send it to a few publishers. You can send it to trade magazines, home decorating magazines, beauty magazines, recipe books, etc. Just be sure that you have proofread it a few times to catch any mistakes and that you are happy with it. You don't want to come out with a cover that is not only poorly written, but that no one will buy. So take your time, write a good story, proofread, and send it out.
