SEPTEMBER
Join Alex Mead, editor-in-chief at Rugby Journal and a panel of experts who have “been there and done it” as they share hard-won insights, and candidly discuss the real challenges of launching and running a successful independent magazine.
They’ll cover a range of topics, including how to set up on your own (and whether you should), finding your audience, distribution, subscription, advertising and building an editorial ecosystem, both on and offline.
Our panellists are Josh Jones, indie editor and author of Just Make Your Magazine - a field guide to publishing your own indie title, Collette Lloyd, head of subscriptions and publisher at Warner Group Publications, Geoff Love, publisher of Magneto and Octane and Felicia Pennant, Founding Editor-in-Chief, SEASON zine.
From classic cars to pop culture and regional foodie titles, we’ll discover how to turn a passion project into something that actually makes money (or has the potential to).
Please join us for this event at the wonderful Bankside Hotel, Autograph Collection in Blackfriars, London.
