How much does it cost to publish a magazine?

Answer 1

Usually when you apply to a job at a company there is a little spot where you can make a request for a salary. But you don't go overboard unless you have a lot of skills and marks to back yourself up.

Sometimes people just write negotiable and then talk to their managers, its sometimes 40,000 to 60,000 a year.

Answer 2

The cost of publishing a magazine can vary widely depending on factors like printing quality, distribution size, and frequency of publication. On average, it can range from a few thousand dollars for a small-scale publication to tens of thousands for a more professional, widely distributed magazine.

Answer 3

First of all, you're going to need to solidify what you're trying to accomplish with the magazine. KEY FACT: Although the model is sufferingsignificant reformation, print magazines are driven by the advertising dollar. You will, and I say this with the utmost understatement, struggle to meet your costs with subscriber dollars alone. That said, if you have a bottomless pit of revenue or are being subsidized by an organization or ministry, it's doable.

Key things to get established: First, how big is the magazine going to be (page count)? Can you live with a newsprint format or do you need to have glossy finish paper (this will become a factor if you are using advertisers also... some are not terribly impressed unless you can make them glossy)? How many copies do you plan to distribute? Do you have contacts in local businesses that you might be able to sell at their locations?

Now, you've been very patient reading through the monologue I will give you a payoff, I know of a publication that prints 10,000 and mails 6800+/- internationally and it costs about $9000/month and that incl a staff of four. Hard costs are at the $5400 range if you had no incidental costs. 40 pg, newsprint (35#).

My word of caution: OVERESTIMATE your costs for budgeting purposes. Fluctuation in paper costs, printers cost fluctuation and other factors make it very difficult to pinpoint a cost that you can "take to the bank" for 12 months. Some other things that you will have to address is do you have a software package that a printer can use? A heavily MAC based business...Adobe InDesign or at least something that you can save as a .pdf will save you $100's in typesetting fees. You also would be remiss not to have in you mid term goals to make an online publication possibly supported and enhanced by the print magazine. Print is going to die. Too many people are converting to online only and the printers are scrambling to shore up profit (or more likely get back up to zero) and it will become more expensive as they have to buy paper in smaller qty because they don't have the space to store it and no longer have the customers to use it.

Answer 4

if you have a good publisher you can get paid $1000 if you publish your first book and if people like it and there going to want you to publish more book and the price goes up but you have to write something that your know people going to be interested in.

Answer 5

It depends on where you send your book.

Usually the publishing company will pay you the rights to publish your book, but to get into the publishing company to gate your book reviewed, you have to pay usually a minimum of $100.

Answer 6

You should not be paying anything! The book publisher will pay you if you submit a book that they like. If you publish your own books, you need to look online for prices, because they change frequently. Just Google "Self Publishing."

Answer 7

Yes it does. It doesn't cost money if you have an agent but they cost a lot of money too.

Answer 8

How much do you get paid when getting a book published, say a poetry book?

Answer 9

Publishing a book takes time and patients. I'm in the middle of writing a novel and every chapter to me matters but to a publisher it may not.
