Wow. Bro - This is what I have been doing for the last two years - and going broke doing it. You better have all the financing ducks in a row. I thought I could self finance it and use $ from subscriptions. I go tthree issues out and am now in a deep hole. I've had to slow up my production - which has my paid subscribers screaming for money back that has already been used ot print the mags, distributos are pissed...noghtmare.. Advertisers are hard to come by for an indie publicatioon - and expect more time devoted to getting that cash flow than designing and producing mag..and I'm doing 40-50 pages. Of course, I'm doing all this by myself and it's been great but the most frustrating depressing thing as well...
Short run is useless - you"ll pay an arm and a leg. I mean if you"re planning ona boutique publication fine..and you got the cash..
I've used a printer in Florida who have been more than reasonable, but they don't do any run smaller than 5,000 units.
drop me an email and I'll give you some ideas...
Zounds..
