We also will be having an Ad coming out.....first time in years, and I also
found Kathleen Riley to be helpful and easy to deal with.
We just cannot justify spending the $425. for an Ad under any Editor. I DO
hope Kathleen gets the job as Editor again as the
Review seems to be growing again........... and to me personally....negotiating
the better rates for a color Ad is BIG.
However....like Cynthia.....I think the winners pages have WAY TOO MUCH blank
space....or white space ....with the photos so
small you cannot even recognize your own dog half the time. That is my only
complaint

I did, with my thoughts. All I know is that Susan did not "want" to leave.
Is this bid process new? I do not remember hearing about this until recently.
One thing we can all agree on is that the review is only as good as the
advertising revenue. That is a huge challenge I know.
I so appreciate those who advertise. Gone are the days of 200 page reviews full
of dogs and pedigrees.
I would be happy to see show results with more detail and bigger pictures.
That's it. Best Cynthia

Maybe we're not. I have been reading the magazine for almost 40 years and this
is the best I've seen it in years. This editor is
approachable and engaging. I have nothing against the former editor--I am
commenting objectively. Naturally there is always
room for improvement. The people with complaints/questions/suggestions should
contact Kathleen. She is VERY receptive.

The membership should be thanked for continuing to support The Review. I
jumped in as a volunteer Review liaison and helper in February 2017. Kathleen
and Jessica do all the work.
Due to an increase in advertisements, (86% increase May-August 2016 versus
May-August 2017) lower costs, and Kathleen negotiating better printing rates,
the price to advertise a color ad went from $425 down to $295. The August
Issue in 2016 was 75 pages; in 2017 that has grown to 116. Please continue to
submit articles!
So that everyone understands all 3 paid positions GSDCA went out for bid in
2017. To the best of my knowledge; Kathleen plans to apply for The Editor
position.
Again; the membership has been a tremendous part of the growth.
If you have suggestions or complaints; we would love your feedback!
No, I am not sending this for political reasons, I am off The BOD this year and
not running again.

Kathleen is a super editor. Because of her, Jess McMillan, Linda, and others,
I feel The Review has been brought back to its glory days. I hadn't advertised
in years, but HAVE advertised twice this last year. Kudos to The Review Gang
for jobs well done.
