The wait is nearly over as we visit the printer for the first time in 2016. Here’s a peek of what’s on its way in Oh Comely issue 29 where we talk about change.Photo: Naomi Shimada photographed by Francesca Allen

Cristina BanBan’s bold and bright illustrations open our chapters celebrating four women who changed the world. Our cover girl Naomi’s bright smile shines through the pages and we reread the books that changed us.

Thank goodness we’re too late to join the cries of New Year: New You! Green smoothies and exercise did not feature in our team challenge to shake-up our habits, instead we embraced rebellion and tried to sit up straight - you’d think this would be a doddle. It wasn’t.

We nattered to four generations to see into the future and five writers shared the turning-points of their past. The whole issue was put together with love and tears as we waved off our editor Liz Bennett and embraced what 2016 has in store for us. Plus interviews with Maxine Peake, jennylee and Daughter.
