A Distributor Who Will Distribute My Magazine & Why?

As, the genre of my music magazine is Metal and its target audience are young adults and teenagers, it can earn more money as, such target audience would like to buy a Metal based music magazine. I think, TeamRock would be the best distributor I can find for my music magazine. TeamRock is the current distributor and publisher for the magazine, Classic RocK.

TeamRock mostly publishes and distributes, rock and metal music magazines like, Classic RocK and Metal Hammer, so I think I cannot find any better distributor than it because such a distributor knows, what is the value of such type of a music magazine.
