In London next week?

Women in Publishing Event - Working in Magazine Publishing
Wednesday, 13 February 2008

What could be more glamorous than working in magazines?

Probably quite a lot of things, as you'll find out at our February meeting,
where two speakers will give us the lowdown on a world that is light years
away from Ugly Betty but in its own way quite addictive.

First, Rachel Roberts, popular culture journalist and broadcaster, will talk
to us about her experience on publications ranging from Grazia, First and
Closer to Now and Spirit & Destiny.

Sophie Wybrew-Bond, our second speaker, is the Projects Director across
women's media for Emap and acting MD of Heat magazine. She has worked on
consumer magazines for the past 10 years, initially as head of marketing for
men's lifestyle and music titles in the Emap stable. She worked on the
relaunch of Heat (which changed from a men's to a women's title in 2000) and
was launch publisher of Close, remaining in that role for five years. She
recently launched First magazine.
