This is what every magazine fan needs to get his hobby turned into a functioning business. The structured book includes plenty of industry examples and techniques that every indie can put into practice. The best part for me was the way Conor has given the reader some useful tools and resources that help in day to day business. If you are reading this book and working on your own publication at the same time - this is a perfect situation as this book serves as a real walk through guide from A to Z in your Magazine journey.
