History
Cover of July 2017 issue

Rowan Pelling, after working as a columnist at the Daily Telegraph, a journalist at Private Eye, and an editor of the Erotic Review, started The Amorist in April 2017 with a "small staff" of an editorial team of four (herself, a deputy editor, a designer, and a features editor)[1] and a "tight budget."[2] The first issue had seven pages of advertising, including ads for an "upmarket" sex toy company and a matchmaking service, [2] with an initial print-run of 12,000 and a cover price of £4.95.[3]

Content

The magazine's founder and chief editor had stated she aimed for "a monthly anthology of erotica, news, reviews and fiction, a blend of love, romance and sex."[4] Pelling's stated challenge is "to get it on the general interest shelf next to National Geographic."[4]

Online

After about seven months of publication, the magazine switched to an online-only format.[3]
