Membership benefits: promoting, protecting and advising the magazine publishing industry

Members can join a network of committees and working groups that represent every aspect of the business of publishing magazines, from circulation to advertising, production to human resources, credit control to the specific issues faced by independent publishers. These committees develop strategies and policy, communications, research, events and a range of support services for that part of the business, supported by PPA’s 35-strong executive.

The committees and working groups report into the PPA Board, which consists of 23 publishing company members together with the nominated representatives of PPA Scotland, PPA Ireland, the Association of Publishing Agencies (APA) and the Independent Publishers Advisory Council (IPAC). The Board is responsible for PPA’s overall strategy and direction.

Cost of membership

Application fee
There is an application fee of £100+VAT (£117.50). This is separate from the annual membership subscription fee, and must be paid before a publisher's application can be considered.

Membership subscription fee
Once membership has been approved, you will be invoiced for the full subscription fee, based on your company's turnover. 'Assessable' turnover includes UK publishing revenue from newstand sales, subscriptions and advertising, plus any customer publishing fees.

There is a straightforward equation to calculate subscription levels: in 2005 this is £1/000 for the first £1.2m of turnover, then 75p/000 for subsequent millions, up to £54m. Subscription costs for companies turning over more than £54m are available on application.

This is subject to a minimum annual fee of £820+VAT. Applications received after January will be charged pro rata, effective until December.
