I am an occasional LaTeX user and have used it for a number of personal projects, including trying to write a technical book. To that end, I have no problems. Late last year, I was volunteered to assist with the editing and production of an academic journal for the church organisation that I am licensed through. I have previously published formal documents using Macs and InDesign software, but no longer have those resources. I do have Linux and LaTeX and an appreciation for the high quality output it generates.
I have seen many references to using provided style sheets to submit single articles to journals, but I want to be the journal that writers submit their articles to.
Are there any open-source, free or even commercially available journal document classes available for someone to use to publish their own academic journal?

Perhaps the paper A new package for conference proceedings in PracTeX Journal can help you to design the format.
