It’s your friendly publisher Rob here. and precious little room for me to grow as a person. So a few It has been exactly a year since I last wrote a column, months ago I made a decision and put a plan in motion to but it became necessary to do so once again this month finally give myself the time and room that I need in order to because we have some important announcements. move forward in my life. First of all, this edition marks the 11th anniversary of A big part of that plan is my decision to bring my work GayCalgary Magazine, adding another year to our already with GayCalgary Magazine to a close as of this edition.

But truthfully, I have no stride to hit in the publishing industry, From my perspective, the years of working on the magazine so I have just been wearing myself out trying to keep up with have molded me into a skilled generalist. Every month I have Steve’s. That is not a pace I can maintain forever, and there switched gears from graphic design to writing to proofreading needed to be a stopping point. After doing this for more than to print layout, then video editing, accounting, and occasionally 10 years, I can’t be ashamed for bailing too soon or not giving website development.
