Best Life, published by Rodale, Inc. in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, was a luxury service magazine for men with a circulation of more than 500,000.[citation needed] The magazine was in circulation between 2004 and May 2009.[1]
History
Spun off from Men's Health in 2004,[2] Best Life was published ten times a year and had a circulation of more than 500,000.[citation needed] Best Life covered health and fitness, finance, fatherhood, relationship issues and fashion and grooming for men 35 and over, with an emphasis on literary writing, humor, and in-depth research. Under the guidance of editorial director David Zinczenko and editor-in-chief Stephen Perrine, Best Life was named to Adweek's Hot List in both 2007 and 2008, and was nominated for a US National Magazine Award for its investigative feature "Our Oceans Are Turning to Plastic...Are We?"[citation needed]
Best Life was the annual sponsor of the Best Life Vail Film Festival as well as the Best Life Classic Yacht Regatta in Newport, Rhode Island.[citation needed]
The magazine ended after its May 2009 issue.[citation needed]
In May 2012, it was announced that Best Life would be returning in October 2012 as a special interest publication.[3]
Featured writers
In 2005, Best Life established its literary credentials by becoming the first to publish the "lost" manuscript by Jack Kerouac, entitled "Beat Generation".[citation needed] It also became the literary home of writer-at-large David Mamet and columnists Mark Leyner and Billy Goldberg, Jr. Other contributing authors have included Jay McInerney, Denis Johnson, Jim Harrison, and Anthony Bourdain.[citation needed]
