There are templates you can find on the internet made for InDesign that come in .idml format. Those can be opened in Affinity Publisher. It takes some looking. 
And you may find, I think on the indesignsecrets website, the templates Adobe use to supply with InDesign. Those all are, I believe, .idml format. Among them are long and short documents. 

Some people are printing themselves.

I would recommend an imposition application, if that's what you are wanting to do. One opens pdfs exported from any application, choses the type of imposition, how many pages in a signature if needed/wanted, etc., etc. Once the imposition satisfies one's needs, an imposed pdf is generated and one does the printing, trimming (if bleed is required).
The linked discussion begins where we were recommending imposition software for both Windows and Macs.
 
Oh, btw, in the olden days, there were XTensions for QXP that did impositions inside of QXP via building a new file for the imposed version. Quark eventually bought that company and that XT (and the others that company made) were then available to QXP users (sometimes free when upgrading, fee-based if not upgrading). But really, there has always been relatively inexpensive imposition applications and there was less and less desire/need to supply the XTs, which often needed updated by Quark for the new versions.

Hi Affinity.
As a very early adopter of Serif software, when I bought an iMac back in 2014 I looked for Serif software apps. Eventually Affinity arose with Designer and then Photo which I purchased and waited patiently for Publisher. After many long years it arrived and then I had the set. I purchased the manuals too but never got round to sitting down and working my way through them. 
I had previously done all my work using Pageplus which I loved and it had lots of templates I could use.
I decided to pick up where I left off many years ago and thought about producing a little magazine/newsletter I did for a charity but I've looked up and down the many, many options but when wanting to start a new file from a template they don't seem to be there. Baffling.
Is this deliberate or do they need to be purchased. I looked on the Affinity website under resources and it I wanted brushes there are loads but templates I couldn't find. Just a bit gutted really.
So if there's a poll for the return of the templates, it gets my vote.

I would also like to vote for some templates to be included for Affinity Publisher please. Yes I know it can open Indesign files, but it can't open all InDesign files have found, i.e. it won't open Indesign templates that I have purchased from Adobe Stock - so Ironically I have had to use a free Indesign trial in order to convert the files from .indt and to .idml files.
So yes, if new users of Affinity Publisher could be presented with some basic templates e.g. Flier, Brochure etc this would really help as it would save time in the futile hunting for non-existent Affinity Publisher templates online.
Thanks for listening!
