Product Description
A dynamic step-by-step guide to creating everything from tourism books and niche market magazines to specialty tabloids, using a home computer. Having built his own publishing business from scratch, Williams is uniquely qualified to shorten the learning curve by sharing the soup to nuts of what he has learned.

He begins with a basic premise: Start a publication on something known, or about a specific area. The publications that have made him successful are local papers, speciality magazines, and guides. Once subject and venue are determined, it's time to consider software tools, arranging an office for productivity, how to get advertisers, how to market your product, whom to hire (and how much to pay them), and all the other aspects of profitability.

In the sea of publishing books on the market, here's one that tells everything publishers need to know in one place. This revised version includes updated technological information on software products and addresses current fluctuations in the market and the changing business environment.

Publish Your Own Magazine ( nyeew )
Recently, I ordered this book and I must say, I really am proud of the service I receive and the timeliness of its arrival. This book is very detail and written in a manner even a novice can understand. I really appreciate the service of amazon and to this author and shipper, keep it up!!

As a new publisher www.youthconnex.com I was able to get the inside secret in a friendly manner and yet professional tone.

Fantastic Guide for the Small Publisher ( lmr_01 )
I couldn't be much happier with this book. On the plus side: The author suggests so many publishing ventures which can be handled on a small scale, or by a one-person-show. In fact, after I finish my first publishing project, I intend to try one or two other ideas from the book. This book saved me from making a huge mistake by showing me I was trying to "reach" too far with my first publication project. I understand now just how far I can successfully extend myself as a sole-proprietor in my venture - and by scaling back accordingly I've insured success. Invaluable tool. I'll never part with this book. :) (The only thing I'd update about this book is the discussion of printing industry technology)

disappointed ( tbheath )
Although there is useful information throughout, the book appears quite dated. This author still refers to such technological "wonders" as the fax machine and, god forbid, the yellow pages, and seems never to have heard of the internet. I really expected more cutting-edge, up to date, information.

Most Informative
I am in the process of starting a magazine and this book by far has the best information of any of the others I have purchased. This book gives encouragement and is easy to read and follow. I enjoyed how the writer used common sense language. This book encourages you to use the tools and materials you own already to start your business instead of telling you, how many trillions of dollars you need to start up.

Misleading at best and in dire need of a new titled
This should be titled, How to Make Money Producing Free Junk Magazines. Most of the folks I know in the publishing industry would love to see a down to basics intro to publishing, ie, the printing lingo, developing relationships with authors, editing tips, detailed layout advice, etc. This book is about producing, not publishing. Moving units of advertising, not creating something worthwhile to read or engage the public. This is a get-rich-quick book that belongs in the business section and has not place near publishing/literature reference.
