Answers:
I'm a magazine publisher and first you must know that publishing a magazine is about as large a task a person can take on. However, it is very rewarding and a ton of fun. I use 32lb. Premium Matte C2S 8.5x11 paper, and the computer progaram is very expensive, too. Most publishers use the program called InDesign by Adobe, and that is what I use, too. InDesign runs anywhere from $1,100 to $2,000 for the program, but it is incredibly useful...all your page layouts and everything right there. Do some research on it if you'd like. Also, if you're serious about magazines, I suggest a book by James B. Kobak called, "How to Start a Magazine and Publish it Profitably." Mr. Kobak has consulted on magazines since 1946, so he knows what he's talking about and his book is very helpful. I bought my copy on Amazon.com.
Good luck!
