Zoomer launch lineup includes several Magaward-winning writers

The premier issue of Zoomer will be on the newsstands September 22 and editor-in-chief Suzanne Boyd (right) will have a lineup of contributors that are among the best known in Canadian magazines, according to a release:

• The cover will be shot by rock star photographer Bryan Adams; for now, the magazine is keeping the Canadian personality in front of Adams's lens a secret (tips gratefully received);
• Marni Jackson, late senior editor of The Walrus, a repeat National Magazine Award-winner, writing about the boomer generation and what it will leave behind;
• Elizabeth Renzetti, the UK correspondent for the Globe and Mail, writing a "powerful personal account of how intergenerational family ties have shaped her life";
• Sally Armstrong, Chatelaine columnist, former editor of Homemaker's, Amnesty International award-winner and member of the Order of Canada, reporting from Afghanistan;
• John Lorinc, well known for writing about urban affairs, particularly in Toronto Life, writing an articles Aging City: Can the urban spaces handle legions of retiring boomers?
• Libby Znaimer, author and host of The Zoomer Report on Classical 93FM with a column.

Consistent with the larger-than-life personality of its founder, Moses Znaimer, this launch issue will feature his behind-the-scenes account of receiving a lifetime achievement award at the Junos.
