~20,000 authors and creator-entrepreneurs.
CEP Magazine is promoted across the broader Create · Expand · Prosper ecosystem: fiction and nonfiction authors, independent and traditionally published writers, newsletter-first creators, educators and experts, catalog owners, and creator-entrepreneurs building audience-first businesses.
CEP Magazine is a new publication, so individual issue readership and engagement figures are still being established. The 20,000-person figure represents the broader audience across which the magazine may be promoted. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every issue will be read by 20,000 people.
As the publication develops, CEP plans to track and share available metrics: issue distribution, email opens, magazine views or downloads, advertisement clicks, sponsored-link activity, and reader engagement.
Advertising performance will vary based on the issue, placement, creative, offer, relevance, and call to action. CEP does not guarantee a particular number of clicks, leads, or sales.
Is CEP Magazine right for your company?
It may be a strong fit if your company helps authors and creators:
All advertisements are subject to approval. CEP does not accept misleading offers, exploitative author services, or advertising that conflicts with the interests of its readers.

Where the audience lives
The channels, one by one.
An activation does not run in one place. Here is every channel it can touch, and how large each one is.
Reach is one thing. This audience also opens its wallet — here is what it has already backed on crowdfunding alone.
These numbers are not additive. The newsletter, Substack, and summit audiences overlap substantially — many of the same people appear on more than one list. Total unique reach is roughly 20,000+, not the sum of the channels above. We would rather give you a number you can trust than a bigger one you cannot.
Thinking bigger?
A magazine ad is one touch. A sponsorship is five.
Advertising puts you in front of readers once. A sponsorship package puts the same company in the summit, the newsletter, the magazine, a live session, and the community — so the audience meets you repeatedly instead of once. Packages start at $500.
