PCOS Magazine

I’ve been amazed as-of late at the sheer amount of attention PCOS is receiving on Facebook…and the number of fans of PCOS Magazine. I want to say thank you SO much for your continued interest.

As this magazine is a personal passion, fed by the wonderful writing and perspectives of some absolutely FABULOUS contributing writers (Angela Grassi, Holly Amarandei, Suzy Reyes, Sasha Ottey, and more)…well, let me just say this, it takes a lot of work to produce. I’m not complaining one bit. That’s the thing about it being a passion.

This said, life has thrown a couple of curveballs lately and it’s made it hard to concentrate on the magazine. I’m a little late getting the latest issue out to everyone, and I want to apologize for that. The upcoming issue will be out soon, most likely before May 1, and I promise to you that it will provide a great deal of great information!

PCOS Magazine is a group effort, essentially. We are always looking for new writing talent/voices, people who have design or ad sales experience, and more. If you have a talent, the readers of PCOS Magazine will probably benefit from it. Please let us know how you would like to get involved.

Two of the most intensive jobs of starting a magazine are finding content and procuring advertisers.

I’ll admit this…the first issue was short. This next issue (which will be out shortly) will be longer. To keep up with this trend, here at PCOS Magazine, we need help! I don’t like short, and I know you, as readers, like more pages and more content. Who doesn’t?

Do you have a background in journalism? Do you like to write? Do you have a unique story idea that you’d like to develop into a story and then contribute? If so, then we want to hear it!

Also, more advertisers means more premium content. We need advertising sales gurus who are willing to work on commission (at least staring out) to help PCOS Magazine add more advertisers to its repertoire. You have the background? Contact the editor!

Hello all! The magazine is one day away from being available! My apologies on this short, short delay. Look back here tomorrow, Oct. 1, for information about how to subscribe to PCOS Magazine and get its next issue. It promises to have some great content for you! Monika Woolsey, Angela Grassi and Holly Amarandei’s columns will be a definite good read! Also included is a story about the long-term effects of chronic illness (specifically, PCOS), and a great extended review of Fairhaven Health’s products.

Pardon the “shouting,” but I’m happy to announce that the website for PCOS Magazine (formerly PCOS Today Magazine) is now live. You can reach it at http://www.pcosmagazine.com. You’ll find a fairly well-designed site with preview of the upcoming September/October issue of the magazine.Angela Grassi’s column about PCOS nutrition returns, Monika Woolsey gives us an update on what the inCYST network is doing, and more!

More details about the next issue will follow in the next few weeks too. I will also be adding a “community” page shortly. Check back to the new site soon for more information about subscribing, either to a digital/virtual version of the magazine, or a hard-copy. This is exciting stuff, folks!

I think I’m finally getting the hang of this technology thing!!!

The PCOS Today blog is migrating to it’s new home with PCOS Magazine (formerly PCOS Today Magazine). The new blog, which contains the same posts you’ve come to love here at the PCOS Today blog, can be found here.

The new PCOS Magazine site, as a whole, will be uploaded in the next few days!

So, come join us. Take a look at the new blog. Please read the new post (called “Thinking” about PCOS Magazine) and provide your commentary!

I look forward to seeing you there! — Linda

I was checking in with Technorati today and found out about a blog by a woman who is chronicling her current experience with metformin (Glucophage). She’s into her fifth day taking the medication, and gives all the details about the experience as she goes along. It’s an interesting read, and I’m sure she could use the support.

Hi all. I recently discovered, thanks to one of my students, a great new site builder called SquareSpace. I am porting this blog, and PCOS Today, over to that builder. Come join me there for more commentary about greater information about polycystic ovarian syndrome.
