Ebury Publishing Biografía y Hechos

Felix Dennis (27 de mayo de 1947 hasta 22 de junio de 2014) fue un editor Inglés, poeta, artista de la palabra hablada y filántropo. Su empresa, Dennis Publishing, fue pionera en la publicación de revistas de informática y aficionados en el Reino Unido. En tiempos más recientes, la compañía agregó títulos de estilo de vida como su marca insignia The Week, que se publica en el Reino Unido y los Estados Unidos. Primeros años Felix Dennis nació el 27 de mayo de 1947 en Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, hijo de un pianista de jazz a tiempo parcial que regentaba una tienda de estancos. Creció en la pobreza en el noreste de Surrey, durante un tiempo viviendo en la pequeña terraza de la casa de sus abuelos en Thames Ditton, no lejos de su lugar de nacimiento, con su madre, Dorothy y su hermano Julian. Un lugar sin electricidad, sin lavabo o baño interior ... no hay luz eléctrica, sino gas y velas ".[2]​ En 1958, aprobó su examen 11+ para ingresar a la escuela secundaria St Nicholas en Northwood Hills, Middlesex . Su primera banda, los Flamingos, se formó con amigos en la escuela.[cita requerida] En 2006, Dennis dijo en una entrevista con Oliver Marre del periódico "The Observer": En 1964, Dennis se mudó a su primer dormitorio en 13 St Kildas Road, Harrow, ganando un alquiler tocando en bandas de R&B y trabajando como artista de escaparates en grandes almacenes. Trabajando brevemente como pintor de letreros, también se matriculó en Harrow College of Art.[4]​[5]​ Carrera Publicación OZ En 1967, Dennis comenzó a vender copias de la revista de contracultura OZ en las calles de Kings Road de Londres.[6]​[7]​ Más tarde, Dennis se convirtió en diseñador y trabajó con Jon Goodchild, el director de arte de la revista.[8]​ David Félix En 1969, Dennis escribió una exclusiva mundial para OZ, la primera reseña del álbum debut de Led Zeppelin . Rápidamente fue ascendido a coeditor y se involucró en el juicio de conspiración más largo en la historia de Inglaterra por el infame problema de " Schoolkids OZ " . Mientras Richard Neville estaba de vacaciones, Jim Anderson y Dennis habían invitado a niños de quinto y sexto curso a editar el número. Incluían una tira de dibujos animados de Rupert el oso sexualmente explícita, que resultó demasiado para las autoridades y resultó en el arresto de Anderson, Neville y Dennis, quienes fueron acusados de "conspiración para corromper la moral pública". Las oficinas de OZ en Princedale Road, Notting Hill, y las casas de sus editores fueron allanadas repetidamente por la Brigada de Publicaciones Obscenas de Scotland Yard .[9]​[10]​ John Lennon grabó el sencillo God Save Oz / Do The Oz para recaudar fondos para un fondo de defensa legal.[11]​ Al concluir el juicio, los "Tres OZ", defendido por John Mortimer, fueron declarados inocentes del cargo de "Conspiración para depravar y corromper la moral de los jóvenes del reino", pero fueron condenados por dos delitos menores y condenado a prisión. Dennis recibió una sentencia más indulgente que sus coacusados porque, en opinión del juez, era "mucho menos inteligente" y, por lo tanto, menos culpable.[12]​ Estas condenas fueron posteriormente anuladas en apelación.[13]​ Dennis le dijo más tarde al autor Jonathan Green que la noche anterior a la audiencia de la apelación, los editores de OZ fueron llevados a una reunión secreta con el presidente del Tribunal Supremo, Lord Widgery, quien les dijo que serían absueltos si aceptaban dejar de trabajar en OZ. . Se alega que los diputados Tony Benn y Michael Foot intercedieron en su nombre.[14]​ Comix subterráneo En 1973, tras la absolución del Tribunal de Apelación, Dennis fundó su propia editorial de revistas. Cuando OZ cerró el año siguiente al Cozmic fue continuada por Dennis y su compañía, Cozmic Comics / H. Bunch Associates (que publicó de 1972 a 1975).[15]​ Los caricaturistas del Reino Unido publicados por Dennis incluyeron a Edward Barker, Michael J. Weller, Dave Gibbons, Bryan Talbot y Brian Bolland .[16]​ Con la creciente popularidad de las artes marciales con la película Enter the Dragon, Dennis's Kung-Fu Monthly se convirtió en un éxito solo dos años después de la prueba de OZ, ganando más de £ 60,000 en su primer año. Revistas de informática Dennis fue el segundo editor de Personal Computer World, que luego vendió a VNU, y estableció MacUser, cuyos derechos mundiales vendió a Ziff Davis Publishing a mediados de los ochenta, pero Dennis continuó publicando la publicación del Reino Unido hasta su desaparición en 2015. En 1987, cofundó MicroWarehouse, con Peter Godfrey y Bob Bartner, una empresa que fue pionera en el marketing directo de TI a través de catálogos de alta calidad. La empresa de pedidos por correo de computadoras finalmente se hizo pública en el NASDAQ en 1992. En ese momento tenía 3500 empleados en 13 países con ventas mundiales en 2000 de $ 2.5 mil millones. Se vendió a un grupo de inversión privado en enero de 2000. Esto creó la mayor parte de la riqueza personal de Dennis. Dennis lanzó otros títulos de TI exitosos Computer Shopper y PC World .[17]​ Décadas de 1990 y 2000 En 1995, Dennis Publishing creó Maxim, un título que comenzó en la parte posterior de un tapete de cerveza y se convirtió en la revista de estilo de vida y marca global para hombres más vendida del mundo. En 1996, Dennis adquirió una participación mayoritaria en lo que ahora es la marca insignia de Dennis Publishing, The Week, que se publica en el Reino Unido y EE. UU. Y se traduce en una circulación mundial de más de 700.000 (ABC auditada). Durante los años siguientes, compró el resto de las acciones del fundador original Jolyon Connell y Jeremy O'Grady. 2003 vio la compra de IFG Limited (I Feel Good) al fundador de Loaded, James Brown . La compra implicó la adición de títulos Viz, Fortean Times y Bizarre al establo de Dennis Publishing. En junio de 2007, Dennis vendió su operación de revistas en Estados Unidos, que publicaba las revistas Blender, Maxim y Stuff a Alpha Media Group por 250 millones de dólares, aunque nunca se revelaron los detalles exactos.[18]​ En 2008, Dennis Publishing estableció las revistas digitales iGizmo, iMotor y Monkey junto con la compra de The First Post al First Post Group con sede en Kensington por una suma no revelada. La galardonada revista en línea que ganó una nominación a D&AD por marketing viral fue dirigida por el ex editor del Daily Telegraph Mark Law y el editor de Evening Standard Nigel Horne. Este título luego se transformó en The Week . En 2013, Dennis siguió siendo el único propietario de Dennis Publishing, con oficinas en Londres y Nueva York. Luego tuvo más de 50 títulos de revistas, revistas digitales, sitios web y sitios móviles en el Reino Unido, incluidos The Week, Auto Express, PC Pro, CarBuyer y Viz. La Semana continuó publicándose en los Estados Unidos junto con la revista Mental Floss. Escritura y actuación En 2001, mientras estaba en el hospital, Dennis escribió su primer poema en una nota adhesiva.[19]​ E.... Descubre los libros populares de Ebury Publishing.
