Neesh is a platform that helps independent publishers reach more of the right retailers with less effort. We make it simple for bookstores, galleries, boutiques, hotels, and cultural spaces to find and order your magazine. Every sale and shipment flows through a single system that is built for transparency, data, and ease of use.
Passion for independent publishing
Independent publishers are shaping culture every day. You discover voices, ideas, and aesthetics that define what people talk about next. Yet connecting those ideas to readers often depends on luck, word of mouth, and small networks of trusted retailers.
Neesh exists to strengthen those connections.
Our goal is to give publishers practical tools for growth without changing what makes independent media special. Neesh was designed for the people who have built print from the ground up.
Every feature supports how you already work: straightforward catalog setup, clear pricing, predictable fulfilment, and insight into where your titles are stocked.
We caught up with Gem Nwannem, founder of Neesh, to hear what drives them and how publishers can reconsider their approach to retail.
Connecting retailers with magazines
Retailers use Neesh to discover new publications that fit their space and audience. They can browse by theme, style, or region, and place small or large orders directly from your listing. This creates a steady rhythm of discovery and reorder that keeps magazines in circulation.
Behind the scenes, we handle the logistics. We process payments quickly, manage shipping, and organize product data so publishers and retailers can focus on their craft. The result is a faster, more reliable path from your studio to the shop counter.
Our current catalog includes more than 300 titles that reflect the full range of contemporary print culture. Art, design, fashion, politics, food, and music all have a home here. We are now expanding our retail network across major cities in North America, including Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York, to bring those titles to new readers.
Print culture endures
Beyond commerce, Neesh is building a community. Through data, storytelling, and partnerships with organisations like the International Magazine Centre, we’re shining a light on the people keeping print alive, the editors, artists, designers, and shop owners who see magazines not as products, but as cultural artefacts worth preserving.
For us, print is one of the most enduring ways to share ideas and create culture. Neesh exists to make sure that continues, with tools that support the people who make it happen every day.
