The masterclass will “teach you everything you need to launch an independent publication,” the team wrote on the event page. This will include learning how to turn a magazine idea into reality, how to identify a successful editorial niche, understanding the nuts and bolts of commissioning writers and designers but also how to pull together a winning subscription, distribution and marketing plan. They’ll also dive into budgeting for the first issue, surviving and thriving following the first year but also provide a strong insight into the independent publishing industry. The team will even send a directory of useful companies and contacts after the class – an invaluable set of mentors waiting to help.
