Hi! I received my Tribe magazine in the mail. It is wonderful, and so well done..

Now, since I was a winner in the photo contest am I supposed to get a free yrs. subscription? I didn't know, and so ordered and paid for the magazine.. Will I get future printed issues free?

Also, what does "Preview" issue mean?

Thanks,
Katy

Hello Katy

We're not set up to do subscriptions yet. When we are we will sort out an annual subscription for our winners. In the meantime we are only offering print on demand until we get our database numbers up. At the moment it isn't cost effective to do it any other way. In fact we weren't go to offer this for print at all, but decided that some people may prefer

This issue is a sample of what the eventual magazine will be like. When we gain sponsorship and can afford to secure the services of a printer etc, we intend that the magazine will be 100 pages and published a minimum of 4 times a year, and possibly up to 6. Just to put it in perspective we presently have 480 people registered, I need to get at least 3000 people subscribing before it will be financially viable.

Most of my effort is spent in spreading the word and if you could could all help that would be brilliant. Tribe cannot survive without an active community, and active contributors.

Thanks for your speedy reply, Butterfly. I guess it takes a while for something like this to really take off.. no pun intended, Butterfly.

Anyway, I want you to know I'd like to do what I can to support you, as you support all of us! I don't know what, tho. I did put the magazine photo and the link on my website, at the bottom of every page.

Thanks,
Katy

What you're doing is fantastic already. Just keep spreading the word as you can. We want everyone to appreciate the beauty of the work you all put forward.

Is Tribe magazine available in England? [I don't know if I've asked this before!] I'd love to get it.

Hello Katerina they do deliver to UK. If you click on the link on the front page www.tribe.paramimedia.com you'll see the front cover if you click on that it's available for purchase. As I mentioned earlier we're not doing subscriptions yet. But when we do it'll be at a more competitive price.

Thanks Butterfly. Being a cautious soul [and short on money] I'll wait and see how it goes before buying But I'm sure its a brilliant magazine!
