I've used Pensord (www.pensord.co.uk) who are based in Wales. I wouldn't say they are the cheapest but they are good. It does depend on the quantities you want to print, etc. Is the magazine for shop distribution? Have you thought about…

PRINTERS & PRINTING COSTS

I have a very basic question which I hope some of you can answer.Can you recommend the cheapest printers for printing an A4 sized UK-based magazine?I have been told that some overseas printers (eg; in China) can print extremely cheaply but will just take slightly longer to ship the order.What can you all recommend? Any tips, hints or help is gratefully received.Feel free to ask any relevant questions that will help answer my question. Thanks!See More

Does anyone have any information or advice on magazine distribution within the UK?

Rick Gladman replied to Arlissa Vaughn's discussion 'Paying Contributors'

I agree with Fredrik. Depending on your budget, some people maybe willing to contribute an article in exchange for a copy of the magazine and the joy of seeing their work in print! At the end of the day, you need to lay down the ground rules/prices…

What do you guys think are the best ways to get initial funding for a magazine? For example, a magazine about cult movies and tv.

Rick Gladman replied to Fredrik Svensson's discussion 'Myth about small magazines...'

Fredrik, keep on trying man! Sounds like you're on the right track! Set up a Facebook Group under your magazine name for starters giving people links to your website and places where they can buy it. Also, join other like-minded Facebook…

This is a good, practical thread...How far have people got with this at the moment?

Rick Gladman replied to Fredrik Svensson's discussion 'Myth about small magazines...'

How many copies do you publish per issue and how frequently? What is your magazine about? Is it a local zine or national distribution? A buzz can be created thru internet forums sometimes or by selling copies at related events. Eg; if it is a…
