Magazine Production is a guide to the practical processes of taking a magazine from initial idea to final print, and is aimed at those who wish to produce a title as part of their studies or for distribution on a small scale. It gives readers an overview of the essential elements to take into consideration when creating a magazine, including legal issues, the relation between editorial and design, and preparation for print.

With information on professional bodies such as the Periodical Publishers Association, this book will provide readers with a clear understanding of what is needed to succeed in a career in magazines.

Reviews / Votes
'This book is sorely needed... a 'must purchase'... The writing style is accessible and there is a useful glossary. I've produced small-circulation magazines for years and I learned new things. I just wish this book had been around when I was moderating coursework.' - Media Education Association Newsletter'I would recommend both books and if you are seriously considering magazines for analysis and production exercises, both the [Magazines] Handbook and the [Magazine] Production book are essential buys.' - Media Education Association Newsletter
