All contributor, store & direct order copies of DD #13 shipped now!
Just wanted to pop in for a quick update. The last batch went out today of the new issue of DARK DISCOVERIES. This includes Contributor, subscriber copies, and any direct or confirmed store orders. Expect to see yours within the next week or two (usually more time for overseas and Canada though). This is my quickest turnaround ever (1 week!!!) and I owe a lot of it to being much more organized (and I owe my co-editor Jason Brock a big thanks for his help in that direction). We’re already hard at work on issue #14 and are looking great for having it out in July. Issue #15 is slated for an October 1st release and Issue #16 for January, 2010.
My goals this year was to take DD to the next level. This meant going to color, making the magazine look more professional and also paying more professional rates. It also meant getting it on a solid quarterly basis to help ensure timely material and advertising. So far we have made a huge step in that direction. It’s full speed ahead!
The last thing is that I just heard from my rep at Ingram yesterday that she already got the copies I sent on Monday and pitched Disticor (Canada Distributor) and Barnes and Noble about the new color and look of DD. They both loved it and 325 more copies are headed north of the border and over 700 more for B & N starting with issue #14. This includes almost 300 more stores for DD. It’s been a great week!
PS: If anybody has gotten their copies of DD #13 yet, please feel free to drop me a line about it. I’d love to hear what you think of it!
