From the editor...

We have another excellent book and film review issue for the holidays of December, with 14 writers and reviewers submitting material. Some of them are the steady, regular contributors, some are the occasional writers and reviewers, and this issue, we welcome Arlene Germain with her first review for IGW.

Those contributing articles and short fiction include:
PNWPatricia Nell Warren:
"Editorial Egales: Important Resource for Spanish-Language GLBT Books," page 2
Ineeda1Jak Klinikowski:
Episode 8 in
The Adventures of Ineeda Willingbottom
"Where Do We Hang the Silk Stockings?"
Jay Mandal's short-shorts: "Favourite" and "Reckless" page 10

I've been a paid reviewer for Foreword Magazine for almost four years. I mention the paid part because it shows that Foreword takes a professional approach to its product, and in the world of self- and small press-publishing, it takes a great deal of work, focus, and belief to make it all come together. And I mention this particular book review magazine because of its recent recognition.

FOLIO HONORS FOREWORD

At a gala event at the Hilton on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, ForeWord Magazine was honored for a second year with an EDDIE Award, FOLIO Magazine's tribute to Editorial Excellence in the magazine industry. The 2004 Celebration of Excellence "honored the best and the brightest in the magazine industry." The awards gala was part of the 30th annual FOLIO: SHOW and Conference in New York.

Pictured at right are Review Editor Alex Moore and Publisher Victoria Sutherland.

Small presses are invited to submit books for review to Foreword (print edition). The online review segment is handled differently and is not in my opinion as useful.
