Barnes & Noble Update B&N informed me a few weeks ago that our launch date will not be in the next few months as we had hoped. This is no reflection on BTS. In fact, I signed a new contract with them just before this notice. They are involved in a huge expansion in their business, and I can’t say anymore than that because I signed a disclosure statement. But I do believe they are swamped based on their plans. I think readers and authors will be very excited once they see what Barnes & Noble will unveil for the future. We are disappointed, but have to be patient. In the meantime, there is a silver lining; our magazine should be better than ever by the time we go on B&N. While readers & authors tell us all the timethey love the look of the eMag, we want it to be so much more. The new Executive Designer will help us attain the professional look we’ve been working toward. Executive Designer Dawn Seewer is an old friend and I’m thrilled that she agreed to come onboard as our new Executive Designer. With over 12 years experience in Graphic Design she will bring the needed infusion of direction we wanted in order to attain the professional look we were after. Dawn is also Art Director at Everpress Media. We are planning to have the revamped look for the magazine by July. No worries - it will be the same magazine, but better. Website for eMag Everpress Media, under Dawn’s team, is creating a new website for us. It will be geared toward the authors in the magazine, those in the past and going forward. This will provide a new way for us to promote our authors and the BTSeMag.
