Thanks.
My copies have just been delivered by postie- he's early too...
There was a very nice letter about my e-publishing article so that's made my day!
Didn't get shortlisted for the Miser short story comp. so will try to find another market for that.
Congratulations Lily.
Congratulations to the editorial team.
So congratulations to Jonathon & co!
KA - we've got two sets of poetry winners in next issue.
Me neither!
[quote=Carol]The magazines have really become worth the cost. So thanks to all responsible, Jonathan and team.[/quote]
Totally agree. Thanks all.
Yes, the timing thing is weird. But I suppose people who write articles are used to thinking well ahead.
I've asked quite a few times in the past if we could change it, and never got anywhere.
(Does anyone else remember for sure? I think it wasn't always as extreme as it is now. eg come out mid or late November and be labelled "December", rather than late October, early November. It seems to be that it's been a gradual creep in the last 20 years or so.)
A few years ago they seemed to be trying out different release dates- it eventually settled to where it is now 21st to the 25th approximately.
Aha. So don't you have final say, Jonathan, about how the mag operates?
I wonder which was the first mag EVER to do this?
Halloween things in shops before the kids have gone back to school in September, Fireworks in September, Christmas starts November and start thinking about summer holidays on Boxing Day !
There's no hope for the likes of me who has difficulty knowing what day it is at the best of times. Just pick up and read what I feel like reading that day ;)
Those words on that paper toilet roll are all I can just about cope with, tbh, you know the words I mean:
"NOW wash your hands, please"
Just saw that yesterday! Great news, Lily :D
I also have a feature about deadline nightmares in the same issue.
