IS MAGAZINE AND BOOK
PUBLISHING VIABLE?

CAN YOU PUBLISH
BOOKS AND MAGAZINES FROM HOME?

I am sure that some of you will have lingering doubts about the prospects for publishing your own books and magazines and that's why I decided to compile this website to show you that it is indeed possible.

It is quite possible to make publishing books and magazines your main source of income. Concentrating on your local community gives you an added advantage over most other publishers - it is your own personal niche area. Despite the fact that I continued to publish magazines solely in my spare time, for the best part of three years, I now work as a self-employed publisher, using the very same techniques that I recommend to you on this website.

There is an enormous amount of material at your disposal within your home community, all ready and waiting for you to publish in either book or magazine format, and within your home community there is a ready market for such publications.

You can do as I did, and take it easy for a while, continuing with your full-time employment while developing and marketing your publications throughout your local community.

It is obvious from the sparse amount of information readily available on the Internet, that local community magazine and book publishing is a new area of opportunity and like any other opportunity, it is always best to be in at the start.

I was lucky that I made the decision three years ago and I have now developed my publishing business so that I can continue it as a full-time occupation.  You wouldn't believe how satisfying that feels.

It is often those momentous, life-changing decisions, that make all the difference and whilst it is often a very difficult decision to make, especially if you have family commitments, the rewards for success are remarkable.

I was fortunate in that I had no commitments. There were very few people who had faith in my ambitions and at times I felt very alone.  I never gave up my belief in the prospects for a successful community magazine and those people who didn't share those beliefs with me are the ones that ultimately lost out. Those that stood by me are the ones who now share in my success.

You have to have faith in your abilities and your beliefs.  I offer you the opportunity to replicate what I have achieved in my little corner of the world so that you can experience it too in yours.
