A quick update on CLW. Thanks to the tireless efforts of a couple of major spark
plugs (Chip Smith and Tim Ehlen) we are rocking and rolling on CLW. It appears
that we may have recruited our so-called "correspondents" (like a columnist or
editor or occasional contributor, perhaps a slightly looser definition - anyway they
get a free hat <just like I am expecting>) for most areas we are planning to
offer coverage to. I won't list any names yet, pending things getting a little firmer,
but you'll recognize many of them.
We have the domain name controllineworld.com secured and will soon start setting
it up for most online services and business associated with the magazine. We'll have
several special "email" addresses, like advertising@controllineworld.com and
subscriptions@controllineworld.com, and even editor@controllineworld.com
or even stunt@controllineworld.com. Well, you get the idea!
E-subscriptions will get a password which will give them access to a special area where
they can download at least two versions of each issue, in high or low resolution. The Premier
issue is special, free, and open access will be provided to it.
You'll be able to conduct subscription, advertising, and other business (e.g. purchase a
CLW hat, eventually) by credit card with a secure web page (the one used for Brodak
Manufacturing now) - for your convenience!
We will soon have posted PDFs which contain our complete submission guidelines,
advertising rates, and general information.
Although the Premier issue (really #0) is expected to be slightly smaller than our normal
quarterly issues (#1 on September 15, 2006; #2 on December 15, 2006; #3 on March 15, 2007
#4 on June 15, 2007) are expeted to be 80-100 pages. The Premier issue will provide everyone
a little "taste" and I think you will be surprised at the breadth of material CLW attracts.
We plan to produce a CD with ALL highest resolution PDFs on it at the end of each year, for
those who wish to start their "archive" collection, at a reasonable price.
Please bear with us, we are determined to make CLW one of your favorite magazines, which
you'll be proud to have on the coffee table with New Yorker, Scientific American, Field and
Stream, National Geographic, Guns and Ammo, Architectural Digest, whatever! ;->
Thanks for your continued interest and attention!
