Publisher's Synopsis
A guide for all those planning to produce a community newsletter, business bulletin, house magazine, school newspaper or similar publication. With so many design and print facilities around today, there has probably never been a better time to start. This book takes the reader in simple steps through the whole process, starting with how to get the initial concept right. Then, using examples and checklists throughout, it shows how to design a workable, how to finance the costs of publication by subscriptions, advertising and other means, how to edit text and illustrations and handle contributors, how to write using a 'house style', how to prepare layouts and artwork and deal with the printer, and how to organise effective distribution.
