My friend (Miriam Gitlin) who has been writing for years, most notably in Binah, recently informed me she is starting a new serial in Ami but since many people don't get that publication, she's offering for people to sign up to an email list to get each chapter as it comes free. I love reading (and I love free Wink ) so I figured I'd spread the word since she is talented and I can vouch for her. She's also about to do a giveaway for her hot off the press book in e-format or subsidized in print copy (IIRC) so if you sign up before the last day of Chanukah, you can enter into that too.

No, she's not paying me to write this. I just figured I'd spread the word since I had many relatives and friends thank me for personally sharing my excitement with them a few days ago!

If this doesn't interest you, that's fine, but if it does, you can go to http://bit.ly/2BGKpQO to get on the list.

Freilichin Chanukah!

Why would the Ami allow that? The point of serial stories is to get people to buy the magazine from week to week...

OOPS!! I got very confused. It turns out the book she just published (Can You See Me?) was from Ami, and this is ONLY for email subscribers...all the more reason to sign up I guess.

Thanks for picking up on that, Ginger. You make total sense. I guess I extrapolated based on the previous serial that this was an Ami one too. I don't remember the blushing emoticon shortcode offhand, but insert it here Wink

No worries, I had signed up already anyway! Was just wondering.

Agenda, much?

And yes, I am aware that you work for Mishpacha.


She originally wrote that it was an Ami serial story because she thought it was (like the author's previous serial story) and then realized that it wasn't so she crossed it out. Chill.

And why are you being so defensive? What affiliation do you have with the Ami?

I think you're confusing HY with ILOVELIFE.

I actually e-mailed HY to let her know because it was so "off" from who she is.
she e-mailed me back and asked me to post for her

"I am at work now, not at a magazine, so I can't respond online but I wanted to clarify that I have nothing against Ami or any magazine...I just don't subscribe to any at the moment and am always in search for more reading material. I'm happy to read any magazine that gets my way, and I'm equally happy to read literature not in magazines. I made a simple mistake since I've been tired and not keeping details straight that since the published book was from Ami, I assumed the new serial was also going to be in Ami. I really didn't mean to offend anyone or speak negatively about anything or make a hoopla. I just wanted to share reading options. So get that serial and Ami and whatever else you want, and enjoy quality fiction.

I hope anyone who works for Ami and the author herself is mochel me for this error. It wasn't supposed to be what the thread is about.

Thank you for understanding!"

Okay.

Hotpink I am affiliated with Ami and have no problem admitting that. I am close friends with several ppl that work there so it irked me.

Thank you HY for your response. I am deleting my comments and everyone who quoted me can delete it too.

ILOVELIFE occasionally writes for Binah, not Mishpacha AFAIK.

Thanks for posting for me, Crimson!

No, this serial has nothing to do with any publication, but is being released via email, a chapter each week. Miriam has previously written in Ami but not exclusively there, as I have also read her stuff in Binah. Again, I don't subscribe to any magazine, so for all I know she's also written for other publications. I don't play favorites; I read whatever comes my way Smile So now emailed chapters will IY"H come my way.

It's not the first time a serial has been released not in a print publication, BTW. I've read Israel Bookshop Publications' blog years ago when serials were released there (and later in book format, e.g. Dance of the Puppet I think is the name of one)

I'm all for more options for reading, even if it's not the mainstream/traditional route, and I don't think it will take away from the real need to have print options too as that is very convenient for Shabbos at a minimum.

(Once again, I wasn't trying to badmouth anyone or anything. You can sub any magazine in my OP and I would have mistakenly made the same comment: that many people don't read it. It's also true that many people DO read it. There is B"H a growing frum market of readers that you can have many in both groups for any given material!)

Are we all good now? Smoothed all ruffled feathers? Thanks for bearing with me and my hodge podge of thoughts!
