About Porter Media

Porter Media Publishing is a contract publishing house, producing custom made, individually tailored magazines to meet the needs of a diverse range of clients. Our particular expertise lies in magazines for the American market. Contract publishing is the most effective and often non-cost publishing solution for many non-profit and commercial organizations needs.

The Directors and private owners of Porter Media publishing are Charles Porter and Amanda Gerrard. Charles and Amanda established Porter Media Publishing as a direct response to a need in the publishing market place for a personal and more tailored approach to contract publishing.

Porter Media Publishing has two great strengths. The quality of its editorial product and the ability to fund contract-publishing magazines through its existing relationships. The strength of our editorial comes from sourcing the very best writers, contributors and editors. All of our medical and technical copy is reviewed by the very best and well known professionals in their fields to ensure accuracy and breadth. The strength of our advertising relationships have been developed over many years through trust and delivering the end product that invariably is a very high quality magazine.

Services

As a contract publisher, PMP is the most effective solution to your contract publishing needs. We provide a full-service, start to finish publishing experience from concept development through to "in your reader's hands" delivery. We take the publishing of a magazine away form your day-to-day diary while allowing full development and approval throughout. A "leave it to us, no-surprises" approach. We can, in most cases, produce your magazine at no cost to yourselves. In fact, in some cases there could be a financial benefit to your organization. We will be pleased to provide financial projections early on in the consultation process.

We are currently keen to discuss magazine development opportunities with professional partner organizations. We are mainly looking to expand our family health and consumer health titles to make the most of our expertise in this area.
