Nomad Editions Launches Good Dog, the Newest Digital Publication in Its Lineup

NEW YORK, June 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nomad Editions, a digital publishing company whose products are built for mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPad and other platforms, today announced the launch of its newest digital publication, Good Dog.  The weekly magazine joins six existing Nomad Editions titles—Real Eats, Wide Screen, BodySmart, Uncorked, Sustainable Money and u+me.

Good Dog finds the canine slant on topics as diverse as architecture, courthouse dramas and veterans' rights. The digital magazine also talks to notable people about their mutt's influence on them, the humans behind all those adorable viral puppy videos, and those who work closely with our four-legged friends.

Here is a preview of the stories included in the first two issues of Good Dog:

• Art Smith, restaurateur and former chef to Oprah Winfrey, talks about his true passion: a trio of pups. The foodie also shares a recipe for do-it-yourself doggie treats.

• A Japanese architect uses good design to solve bad dog behavioral problems. By analyzing the lifestyles of pets and their owners, he is able to create better homes for all.

• Best-selling author Luis Carlos Montalvan, a disabled Iraq war veteran, explains how man's best friend can make all the difference, but widespread discrimination against service dogs by businesses proves an all-too-common barrier.

• A former fashion magazine reporter turned her love of photography and canines into an experiment in dog/human portraiture.

• Good Dog road tests dog beds coated with nanoparticles that promise to repel dirt. Do they deliver?

"With our recent successful launch in Apple's App Store, we are thrilled to offer Good Dog as a strong addition to our roster of diverse digital publications," says Mark Edmiston, CEO of Nomad Editions. "Good Dog appeals to dog lovers everywhere with engaging feature stories and a unique take on canine topics. We look forward to developing and launching more Nomad Editions in the next few months."

"You don't have to own a dog to enjoy Good Dog," said Editor Sonia Zjawinski. "We've got great storytelling and fascinating subjects for anyone." Zjawinski is a regular contributor to The New York Times and co-founder of the pet blog Pawesome.net. She is also a certified dog trainer.

Nomad Editions' diverse lineup of digital magazines was recently made available for iPad using Apple's new in-app subscription service. Readers can get the Nomad Editions App for free from the App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore and download a free issue of Good Dog. Renewable monthly subscriptions for each of the titles are available for $0.99 through In-App Purchase. Annual subscriptions are available at $9.99.
