Navigating Challenges

Share

We’ve been updating mainly on the Facebook and Twitter pages (Instagram coming soon!), but we’re determined to get back on track and keep going here.  Due to a perfect storm of circumstances, we haven’t published in a while.  Money’s been perennially tight. A contributing editor went off to grad school, the editor got a demanding new job–then had to leave it to help take care of both parents who are battling cancer at the same time. But in and around all that, we’ve gotten some new articles and fiction together, and reviewed some more books and CDs. So we have a new issue nearing the final stages of production. And even a partnership deal coming up–we’ll tell you more when it’s time. So hallelujah! Many thanks for all the supportive emails and Facebook messages. They mean more than you know.

A note to subscribers: as special thanks for your patience and support, all subscribers have been granted lifetime status. You’ll never have to renew.

Even the big dogs have it rough in magazine publishing  these days. Ladies Home Journal just went under –after 131 years! Yesterday, the company that distributed big mags like Time and published car-fan mags like Motor Trend just went under and laid off 6,000 people. They spun the car mags off into a smaller company and Time is working out new distribution elsewhere. This little two-year odyssey of ours has been quite the learning experience in publishing. So we’re looking at new ways to “monetize” this and keep bringing it your way. Thanks, and stay tuned!

Love and eternal gratitude to Dr. Maya Angelou for helping make this world a little brighter, smarter, and kinder.
