“The Publishers' Circle has changed the trajectory of our company. Since joining, we've learned how to write stronger proposals that win more sales, found real savings on postage, and picked up new ways to add on revenue that we would never have thought of on our own. Every conversation with this group gives us something we can put to work right away. If you're a publisher looking to grow, I can't recommend The Publishers' Circle enough.”

Ryan DohrnThe Billion Dollar Sales Coach and host of the Niche Media Conference

What industry leaders are saying

“I have said for years that publishers need to talk with other publishers, openly, regularly, and across traditional boundaries. … That is why I strongly agree with the premise behind The Publishers' Circle. … No single publisher has all the answers, but collectively, we possess an extraordinary amount of practical intelligence.”

Bo Sacks

Bo SacksPrecision Media Group, publisher of America's oldest media e‑newsletter

“Imagine visiting with your colleagues and experts at least once a week without having to wait six months or a year to go to a magazine conference to chat and interact. … Having colleagues and experts at your disposal is indeed a marvelous idea in these challenging times of magazine publishing.”
