Bauer Publishing

Bauer Media Groups is a European based media company in

Hamburg, Germany. They manage and publish over 600 different
magazine titles. They titles that they publish include Empire, Q,
Kerrang and Heat. I think they would be a suitable publisher for
my magazine because they publish various music magazines
already.
