Publish Your First Digital Magazine: Taking You from Concept to Delivery Paperback – March 20, 2013

Lorraine Phillips did an amazing job writing this book for new digital magazine publishers!! The author provided very detailed information and easy steps to publish a digital magazine. Her knowledge of the industry helped me tremendously and I feel very confident in publishing a successful magazine!

Concise, to the point, informative, great read!

I am glad I opted for the book in Kindle form at the reduced price. I was a bit disappointed in the length of the contents, but it did help me to get a reality check on what I had planned, and gave me the extra confidence I needed to move forward with the project rather than scare me away.

I've been searching for a resource to help digital magazine publishers get started for years, and I've been surprised to find out that no such book existed until now. Lorraine Phillips' book has everything you need to know to begin the journey to digital magazine publishing. I especially like the downloads from the website for the book. There's a start up budget sheet that almost perfectly spells out all of the things new publishers must consider to fund their new business. This is not necessarily a step by step guide that tells you exactly what to do to start a digital magazine, but the research Phillips put into this book will save new publishers a lot of time during the business plan writing/set up process. There are lists of free and paid sources for stock photos, examples of rate cards, lists of free software that will help with monitoring social media, and much more. I recommend also getting her other book on magazine publishing, Publish Your First Magazine: A Practical Guide For Wannabe Publishers, since it covers other topics that are critical to running a magazine that are not covered in this book, such as examples of press releases and branding tips. Overall, I'm extremely thankful for this book and I'm sure that it will garner plenty of dog ears, wear, and tear as I get closer to the launch of my magazine!

I bought Lorraine Phillips first book Publish Your First Magazine: A Practical Guide for Wannabe Publishers. It was most useful but since my magazine is totally digital/online, I decided to add this book to the first. Truly, this book will take you from concept to delivery. All you have to do after reading it is to implement. Think of it as a resource that keeps on giving as you'll find yourself coming back to it often.

Provides all of the information we need from start to finish. Have learned so much within the first couple chapters.

Awesome book, nice and practical. I enjoyed it.

A thorough, well written approach to getting your digital magazine up and running
