The magazine is owned by Flagship Publishing, Inc., which was started in 1995 as Nebraska Life Publishing, Inc., by husband and wife team Chris and Angela Amundson. Chris and Angela were born and raised in Norfolk, Nebraska. In 2012, they started Colorado Life Magazine and moved to Colorado to run that magazine. In 2018, with an appreciation for Colorado’s neighboring state to the west, they launched Utah Life Magazine. Chris and Angela are heavily involved in the daily details of all three magazines. You can reach Chris at camundson@flagshippublishing.com and Angela at aamundson@flagshippublishing.com or by calling 1-800-777-6159.

I have a hard time parting with my old issues of the magazine… what should I do?

So many of our readers love the magazine and fret at the thought at throwing them away. Might we suggest donating your copies to a local school, nursing home or hospital?

Can I get a discount on my magazine subscription?

Your subscription helps us pay writers, photographers, editors, designers, salespeople, printers and the U.S. Postal Service (postage costs keep going up and up). Unlike the big national magazines, we try to keep our subscription prices fair and equal for everyone. However, we are happy to extend special pricing for bulk orders beginning at 50 subscriptions (it makes a great gift for clients and employees). Call or email us at subscriptions@flagshippblishing.com or 1-800-777-6159 to talk about bulk orders.

Do you have digital subscriptions?

In short, no. We have experimented with digital subscriptions and have found that very few of our readers want or use them. We’re always open for re-evaluating digital subscriptions. If you prefer digital, please call or email us at subscriptions@flagshippublishing.com and tell us what platform or service you like to use and whether you want digital-only or print + digital.

Are you hiring?

Please see the “careers” page of this website for current openings. Don’t see your desired career listed? Then send us your resume and a cover letter telling us about yourself to careers@flagshippublishing.com.

Where can I find the magazine on newsstands?

The magazine is sold at most major grocery retail stores in the state, and also at Barnes and Noble. Can’t find it? Call or email us and we’re try to give some names of a few stores in your community. Or, we’re glad to send you one for a nominal charge. 1-800-777 6159 or subscriptions@flagshippublishing.com.

Do you publish your stories online?

Typically, no. We’re a print magazine. We write the stories, shoot the photos, design the layouts and create the local advertisements to be enjoyed in the print format. It’s worked well for us as a business model, and tens of thousands of subscribers seem to enjoy the magazine in this format.
