SPD Bonus Question: What magazines are you currently reading?ĬP: I am working my way back through my collection of Colors. I wanted the book to be something that helps aspiring publishers avoid making the same mistakes I did!! I think the mixture of real world examples from my own experience and that of the 50 people I interviewed will ensure readers will be well prepared to take their own titles to market. SPD: The cover of the book says The Magazine Blueprint is “The Ultimate Guide to Indie Publishing.” Why do you think this book lives up to that claim?ĬP: I hope so! So far the feedback I have gotten from customers has been great. But if you have the magazine bug, do it - there's nothing better than having a freshly printed copy of your magazine in your hands. It's time consuming and a lot of fun, but it's a long-term play. I think the key thing is for people to go for it - but be realistic about building an audience and making money. If you only think about your audience once you have printed your first issue, you will find it very hard to succeed. Then, it's vital to start building your audience as early as possible. Once you figure out who your audience is and where they are, you can figure out cover price, design and paper stock, distribution and tone of voice. ![]() ![]() Go too wide and you risk getting lost in the crowd, too narrow and you won't have a big enough audience to sell to. SPD: What was the most important thing you learned from publishing this book?ĬP: A lot of the hard work comes at the start of the process, which is when you need to figure out exactly who your audience is.
