I have to agree. Paper publishing is a fast dying industry, just ask anyone who is trying to avoid the inevitable. Maybe if you have a specific niche that favors paper it could work - for example, DIY or reference books where it’s more convenient to have the printed document in hand than to have to look at a screen. But paper and postage costs are going up and one specialty publication I get had to drop from 12 issues a year to 6 to keep afloat. Another national organization just made it’s magazine an extra-cost option.

Combine the industry dynamics with lack of experience and I’m sorry but you’re going to be fighting an uphill battle. Best of luck if you decide to give it a try.

I think it is impossible, especially as novice as they sound, and more likely not well financed either. Like you said, even if well financed it is an uphill struggle where even the most experienced in the game fail.

They tried in earnest to kill all small businesses during the Covid plandemic, so there is also that to contend with that never existed as a stumbling block for new business startup ventures. But they guarantee more plandemics in the future for the world.
