Live Projects

The live projects represent some of the most exciting aspects of the undergraduate and postgraduate Publishing degrees here at Edinburgh Napier University.

For the past 3 years, our publishing students have been producing live projects, specifically focusing on books and magazines (digital/online and printed).

As part of their Publishing studies, our Postgraduate students create and publish a full-colour glossy magazine. Over 3,000 copies of buzz were distributed across Edinburgh and you can download your free copy here..

buzz… Everything else is just noise.

Buzz, 2011

Independent magazine with a fresh offering of up-close and intimate interviews, capital conversations, style, travel and cultural musings – buzz talks to the city’s twenty-somethings. Say hello to your new seasonal pick-me-up.

buzz magazine is produced by MSc Publishing and MA journalism students from the School of Arts and Creative Industries, Edinburgh Napier University. Pick up a copy from all Edinburgh Napier University campuses and a number of other locations throughout the city this summer, or browse the latest issue here.

Like the magazine, our books are also distributed to the public – over 1,000 copies of James Hogg’s The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner were published.

To mark this fantastic achievement, we launched the book to great acclaim, with Aileen Campbell MSP, Richard Holloway and Dr Valentina Bold all reading at the event. The students have also created a WordPress blog, a Twitter page and a Facebook page, all charting the progress of the book launch and providing information on the event, and on the book itself.

Books are being distributed to schools and libraries across Scotland and we would be pleased to hear from you if you would like a FREE copy. In the meantime, you too can enjoy a glimpse of what was a very successful book launch and a wonderful evening…
