Why Tudor Rose
Most Agencies Make Content. We Publish It.
Every quarter, our own magazines land on the desks of senior people in enterprise technology, passenger shipping and golf design. If an issue doesn’t earn its place, they stop reading. That test has shaped how we work for 28 years, and it’s the standard we bring to every client brief.
We Know What Gets Read
We edit and publish our own titles, so we see what readers keep, quote and pass on. We plan your content around that, not around a word count.
Journalists, Not Just Copywriters
Our in-house writers and editors interview your experts, customers and partners, find the real story and tell it in plain, intelligent English.
Print and Digital, One Team
Editorial, design, print, distribution, digital editions and websites, run by one team that answers for all of it.
Nothing Leaves Without Sign-Off
Every page is checked before it reaches you. Our production manager, Stuart Fairbrother, has given final sign-off on our work for more than 25 years.

Plenty of agencies say they understand publishing. We publish three industry magazines of our own, read by the people who run those industries.

About 250,000 readers across print and digital, and around 8,000 printed copies an issue.

Every Magazine Starts as a Flatplan.
Before a word is written, editors map every page on a flatplan. Try one: choose a format and a page count, pick what goes inside, then send it to us with your brief.
How Many Pages?
Why fours? Each sheet folds in half to make four pages, and the sheets are stapled through the spine.
Your Flatplan
Customer Magazine, 32 pages plus cover, 8 sheets, saddle-stitched
- Contents 1
- Editor’s Letter 1
- News 5
- Interviews 8
- Features 10
- Case Studies 6
- Last Word 1
- Cover, 4 pages
Room for about 4 interviews, 5 features and 3 case studies, at a spread each.

Questions
Questions We’re Often Asked.
Straight answers before you get in touch. For anything else, call us or send a note.
How Long Does a Magazine or Book Take?
It depends on the pages, the interviews and how quickly approvals come back, so we agree a schedule at the brief and keep to it. When BBC Radio Leicester needed a charity recipe book in time for Children in Need, 2,000 copies were printed and bound 25 days after our first meeting.
What Does It Cost?
Every project is priced on its brief: the number of pages, the print run, the paper, the interviews, the photography and the distribution all play a part. Send us your ideas and we’ll come back with a quote and a date.
Do You Handle Printing and Distribution?
Yes. We manage print and delivery as part of the job and produce digital editions for readers who prefer a screen. This year we plan to distribute about 32,000 printed copies of Technology Record alone, through subscribers, Microsoft offices and industry events.
Can You Write About Technical Subjects?
It’s what we do every day: enterprise technology for Microsoft partners, passenger shipping, golf course design, banking and sustainable development. Our journalists interview the experts and turn complex subjects into clear stories.
Can We Advertise in Your Magazines?
Yes. Technology Record, Cruise & Ferry Review and Golf Course Architecture reach decision makers in their industries in print and online. Ask us for a media pack.
Do You Only Work in Print?
No. We write and design websites, newsletters, digital magazines, social content and search-friendly copy, often alongside a print edition, so one story works everywhere.
Do You Work With Clients Outside Leicester?
Most of our clients are outside Leicester and many are outside the UK, from Microsoft to the United Nations. We work by phone and video, and you’re always welcome to visit us on Friar Lane.
Can You Produce a Book for Our Anniversary?
Yes. We research, interview, write, design and print commemorative and corporate books, from a short anniversary volume to a full company history with contributors and forewords.
