How do you get From Zero to Hero? 
Have you ever thought about setting up your own publishing company, your own magazine or tried to work out how to get a publishing project off the ground? Have you ever created content and wondered about the best way to get this out to the world? What does it mean to publish in the digital age? What is it about print that has such enduring appeal, and how has digital enabled others to share creative content so effectively? How have new business models enabled a new breed of publisher to establish themselves? What can established publishers learn from start-up mentality? 
From Zero to Hero! will explore all this and more, helping inspire you to get projects off the ground. 
All our Heroes have one thing in common – they have managed to get their companies and projects going from scratch. Each has a unique tale to tell about how their project began andhow they’ve kept it going. Hear their stories and learn from their experiences.
