About

Clever is known as the ezine for the neglected demographic. When I created clevermag.com, the internet seemed to be for everybody except me. I couldn't find the sort of content that entertained me and I figured there were other folks who probably felt the same way. That's where I got the idea to call Clever the ezine for the neglected demographic. Plus, I figured there were other writers who would like to have their work published but wanted a larger audience than a personal website might provide. The first issue of Clever Magazine was published in August 1998, and we are going strong. The magazine features travel and personal essays, a monthly humor page, nature stories, poetry, fictional short stories, book and film reviews, a recipe index, an advice column, and a bookstore. These are subjects that interest everybody, so it's safe to call us a general interest magazine. Our format is designed to remind us of print magazines and our goal is to amuse, entertain and inform the readers.
