A publishing company is like the manager of the magazine. Companies will watch over the editorial, production, circulation and sales. Some publishing companies take a hands on approach, getting involved as editors. However some publishing companies take a back seat role, allowing the magazine companies to deal with the editorial phase, as it can cause conflict as publishers want lots of advertising.
The distributor I would use would be bauer media as it has big magazines such as Q an Mojo on their books. However I feel that my magazine is a little bit different so would be better, as if it was on IPC media, NME’s distributing company, it would struggle as NME would take priority as they were quite similar.
Explore the background and success of the institution and consider whether this would suit your magazine.
