In this online class taught over Zoom you will:

• Learn how to turn your magazine idea into reality
• Find out how to identify a successful editorial niche
• Understand the nuts and bolts of commissioning writers and designers
• See how to pull together a winning subscription, distribution and marketing plan
• Discover how to survive and thrive beyond the first year

You will leave with a good insight into the independent publishing industry and a strong idea of how to set about launching an independent magazine. After the class we'll send you a directory of useful companies and contacts to help get you on your way.

The details

The class will take place online, over Zoom. The class will be limited to a maximum of 15 participants.

As an additional benefit of the class we aim to put all participants in touch with one another afterwards, to form a group whose members can help one another with support and advice when they set out to launch their publications. If you would prefer not to share your details with the group, you can email us at theeditors@slow-journalism.com and let us know. We'll also give you another opportunity to opt out after the class has taken place.

Tickets

Tickets cost £20+VAT for subscribers and £40+VAT for non-subscribers. We'll ask for your delivery postcode to verify your subscription when you book your ticket.

The tutors

In January 2011 Rob Orchard and Marcus Webb launched Delayed Gratification, a quarterly news magazine that returns to big events after the dust has settled. They've condensed a decade of the lessons they've learned into this tip-filled two hour course.
