How It Works is one of the latest additions to the portfolio of magazines belonging to Imagine Publishing, which also includes popular publications such as Gamestm, Sci Fi Now and Smartphone Essentials. It launched in October 2009, aiming to provide a science and technology magazine with a wide-appeal to the general public, with dozens of articles describing how both complex and basic things work in every issue. Based in Bournemouth, UK, the magazine was originally sold only in the UK and USA but its rise in popularity has seen syndication magazines published in countries throughout the world including France and Germany.
