Publish Your Own Magazine, Guide Book, or Weekly Newspaper: How to Start, Manage, and Profit from a Homebased Publishing Company (Culture Tools) Paperback – October 1, 2002

It was just like new.

Great information.

It is apparent the author does have a wealth of publishing experience in various endeavors. Still, I would have preferred more detail in each of the publishing phases, rather than a quick once over of each.This is an excellent book if you are interested in publishing, but are not sure what you wish to publish. In other words, let this be a starting point. Then, if you decide to publish:A - books, get Avery Cardoza's Complete Guide To Successful Publishing, orB - community newspapers, get How To Produce A Small NewspaperC - magazines, get Launch Your Own Magazine, and How To Start A Magazine, and Starting & Running A Successful Newsletter or Magazine - YES, YOU WILL WANT ALL THREE OF THESE!

I actually had to skim through this book to get to the information for which I bought it for (towards the end). I did get good nuggets of general information but not exactly what I was looking for. I will keep this book as a point of reference, however, I found other books that were more in detail about selling advertising which is key when publishing your own publication, if you want to make a profit, that is.

Inspired me to start the first Hispanic all Spanish newspaper in central Alabama. We broke even on the 3rd edition and showed a $1,200 profit on the 4th. Success ever since. Thanks for the inspiration and insightful tips, they worked.

This book covers so much information. Its excellent. I actually have it on my desk and refer to the info on a regular basis.

I love this book! It's got a lot of really great ideas, tips and tricks that are useful for anyone thinking of getting into the publishing business.

For all the pages this book has, it contains useless information. If I could give it 0 starts I would

This is a very informative book, the most helpful book about publishing I've read (and I've read dozens).I'm going to publish some things, have very little and limited money, know nothing at all about publishing, and have no mentor, so I ordered a huge pile of different books on the publishing industry.This one, being more magaziney in title was among the last I got, just in case it had some info that might be useful for me, all the rest are about book publishing (because I'm publishing a series of books).I'd almost run through my research stacks but a whole lot of my basic questions were left unanswered. Practicality in paper sizes, how I can ensure the final size of the publication is at it's most cost effective? Binding preferences, cost effectiveness of varying kinds, final impressions, where to see examples of, how to present etc. All the other books tend to deal with Big Publishers who have things like money, departments, wages, and the wherewithal to farm out jobs.I've made the questions sound horribly dry, but the writer makes the book interesting, easy and enjoyable to read throughout.So many questions, little niggling questions. Starting out I don't want to be asking professionals really dumb questions. Let's face it, someone might think 'Aha, ripe hick from the sticks,' take advantage of my ignorance, and there goes the budget and business.I'd just begun to despair and contact people, trying to find answers my questions, when I picked up this book. It's the best in the bunch by a long way.A wonderful grass roots publishing book. If I could pick only one of the loads of (very interesting) books I've read on publishing, this would definitely be it. It is certainly the most useful I've come across. Anyone publishing for the first time should be sure to read it.

very good book

I have seen online courses for 'how to publish a magazine' selling for £thousands, yet almost all of the information you need is set out in this book. You may also benefit from a couple of other books - depending of course what your magazine is about and your objective. All in all a good purchase.

Very good book and good priced too.
