Month 9: Entertainment Media Publishing and Distribution (MPD)


In this class, I made a totally different business plan for this class because my business plan that I had developed through the program did not fit for the class activities. My new business plan for this class was establishing a magazine that filed with information about Japan. With this business concept, I learned the traditional publishing as well as the self-publishing.

If I want to publish a magazine in the traditional way, I have to find an agent and pitch him to publish my magazine. I practiced how to find right agent and how to write a query letter through assignments. Also, I practiced how to write a book proposal and business strategy to pitch publisher through the MPD class. On the other hand, I learned that the self-publishing is cheaper than the traditional way. I found out some good companies that can help publishing a magazine on the both printed version and digital version through the class assignment.
