For self-publishers, Marq is the best option, in my opinion. I have recommended it to others and they have been also amazed at how beautiful their end product looks and how easy it is to export and get the printers. A win win for everyone involved in the process of creating magazines and marketing materials.

I think if we had found Canva first we would have probably chosen it as our platform. We had already invested a lot of time and energy into developing multiple templates and branding standards in LucidPress

  • I am able to save over $10K per issue by doing the design and layout myself.
  • I am able to save at least 2-3 weeks per issue by doing the design and layout myself.
  • I don't need to employ a team to compile each issue, I do it all myself.
