Here at Countrywoman’s Guide, we are absolutely over the moon for Holly Thomson who has Volume 2 of In the Country Magazine (ITC) published this month AND her first published novel hitting the shelves!

As with any entrepreneurial venture, it’s been a real journey for Holly and not always an easy one, but as she recounts in our interview, she has learnt a lot along the way.

The relaunch of In the Country brings with it a renewed focus and a determination to bring a magazine to the market that isn’t just a ‘me too’ product.

In addition, Holly has covered subjects that she herself is passionate about; Country pursuits, travelling and Western Style - which always makes for compelling reading.

Supporting charity has always been close to Holly’s heart and £1 from every copy sold is being donated to Free Wild Horses, an American Wild Horse Conservation Charity.

As always, we wanted to give you the Behind The Scenes lowdown, so Emma and Holly caught up for a chat. In true Countrywoman’s Guide style, Holly was at her livery yard and Emma was flitting between meetings, but that’s situation normal for these two, so please do take a listen.

To buy the magazine please pop over to www.inthecountrymagazine.com to and please do share and tag @inthecountrymagg on instagram when you receive your copy!
