On Renaissance Festival . com, there's been some flack going around that Renaissance Magazine isn't what it used to be. . . . especially when one out of every six issues is designated for weddings.

I got that itchy artsy/publishing feeling again.

Then I got goaded by a few fans who would love to see a full color magazine with full features about different faires including prices, types of food and drink, and detailed info on where to stay in the area, what to expect, etc.

Questions. What if it included a part just for serious reenactors. . . and a vendor's area. . .and a garb-making area. . . and a feature on some interesting faire artists that you might not know about? If it all came in a nice package every quarter for only about $6 an issue. . .would you be interested?

http://www.fairemagazine.com

So, yes, I've begun work on the project and there's enough support from both renfaire enthusiasts and advertisers to get the first magazine out to subscribers and on the street by Autumn. In fact, the first 500 subscribers will get a pin to wear on their garb, proudly announcing that they're on board with us.

Our Pyrates Way distributor, Ingram Periodicals, has also shown a lot of interest and is presently deciding on how to distribute the new magazine.

What say ye?

Starting with the Spring Issue of 2009 The Pyrates Way will be coming at you every other month!  We've been getting letters for a year asking for us to grow in either page count or more often.  People want more pirates!

Thus, we decided to go with MORE OFTEN!

With a never-ending list of article and feature ideas, both our readers and our advertisers will be the folks who profit by this new growth. . .why?  Because we're at a point where we can afford to expand in this way WITHOUT RAISING ADVERTISING OR SUBSCRIPTION PRICES!  Our magazine will still be only $5.95 per copy at all the national & local bookstores and both subscription and ad rates will remain the same.

More for our audience without a price increase. . .  it's just another way that The Pyrates Way gives back to the pirate community at large.

Thank you again for supporting us as we grow!
