Phait Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Although it is very possible this has been done before, so if it has, sorry for repeating the suggestion. I say the editor(s) compile a list of forum member's tips and advice, and publish it over a series of perhaps, 3 or 4 issues. Eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmieWannaB Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Sounds like a good idea. Given that there are thousands of them, maybe the forum members could come up with a list of postings that would be worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_dup3 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Or someone (or group of members) could get such an article/piece together & offer it to the mag. That would, perhaps, make it's getting printed more likely by giving the editorial staff a finished version of the idea rather than adding to their task of chores. Find out their writing guidelines & then ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Something like this was suggested to Keyboard when Greg and John were running it. We talked about the possibility of something like a page in each issue dedicated to stuff from the forum which might be interesting to their readers, but they didn't like the idea. I even compiled a couple of threads for them to review, but they just weren't into it... Maybe I'll suggest again to Ernie or Ken when I see them next. The current vision of the mag is definitely different from the Rule/Krogh vibe, but I don't know if something from here would fit with what they're trying to do with the book. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Affiliations: Cloud Microphones • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve LeBlanc Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Here's an idea...send me a magazine damnit. I subscribed in June, only received one issue (July) and nada else...who should I write to about this? It's not a big deal (obviously since I haven't complained up until now) but I have been a little miffed about it. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Winger Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Interesting. I had exactly the same experience. I wonder if there was a glitch in their subscriptions department this summer? I called them to inquire about the whereabouts of my delinquent magazine in late August, and they promptly sent out a copy and, apparently, fixed the problem (since I've received issues regularly since). Here's the contact info: SUBSCRIPTIONS and ADDRESS CHANGES Keyboard c/o Neodata Box 58528 Boulder, CO 80322-8528 800-289-9919 Outside U.S. and Canada: 850-682-7644 Address changes on current subscriptions: keyboardmag@neodata.com Mark "I don't know anything about music.

Red Winger Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Happy to help. Doing my part to further knowledge. There are just certain times and places where one needs reading material.

D_dup3 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Though I'm hardly in touch (compared to Dave B) with what's what at KB editorially, I'd still suggest thhat anyone who thinks they've a worthy subject to outline could develop an article to submit if (1) they can express it well, (2) they first get a magazine's writers guidelines & policies for submission & (3) are able to provide a brief to the editors. Of course, they still might not accept it...but they might! If you can express yourself clearly & with focus (& if you have a good idea/concept!) it's a mere hop/skip/etc. from the forum here to the printed page...even if just the letters page. I'd suggest, though, that a single piece or lesson would be a better bet than angling for a regular feature. Also KB's not the only option---ideas about electronic or tech subjects could be offered to other mags (GPlayer, etc.)---publication in one place can reinforce one's status in another. Give it a shot; what's to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
