Re: RE: OT (way OT) Articles about Iris in magazines

Char:

 

            When I mentioned the lack of Iris articles, I also mentioned a very important point. If an Iris article is submitted it is very valuable that the author work out a mention of the American Iris Society or one of its sections, depending on the type of Iris, for more information. If that group, AIS etc. is alerted I am sure they would work out a deal to advertise in the issue before, during, and after. It saddens me to see articles that do not help build the organizations. I have seen articles on Iris but with no mention that there is a Society devoted to them. While the author may get a short term benefit for any nursery they mention, if a reader joins a society the benefit will be long term and far reaching.

A while ago I asked if anyone knew a photographer/writer who would be
willing to write an article for a magazine, basically to draw attention to
our wonderful flowers. I especially asked if anyone knew anyone. I copied
that article to a Photographer/writer team I know. They are nationally
published. If you subscribe to Northern Gardner, Chicgoland, Garden Gate,
Midwest Living and few others you have probably seen there work and read
their articles. Their names will follow when the deal is signed.

I've sent the proposal idea to the editor about the iris article. If it

happens, Donna and I will be out to take some pictures and get an

interview from you later this spring. We'll also stop at Roger's garden.

We submit the article in early summer, then we wait. If the editor runs

the story, it would likely appear in spring 2006 issue. But could also

pushed back to 2007. Magazine publications are very unpredictable.



Now help me out. Take a look at all your friends and see if you also have
someone who will write an article for a nationally published magazine.
