Re: Grade the June Magazine
Dynasty,
I want to quote the comment I made for the March magazine in the thread & poll for that one"
"This is the best magazine yet under your editorial mantle. And I think it provides the winning recipe for future ones. Namely having one, but only one, article in non-poker categories like other +EV gambling/sports, psychology and poker stories, and the rest poker strategy, with a mix from the various forms of poker."
I believe that is the winning "formula", but which isn't applied to this month's magazine, with two non-poker articles, and three on tourneys, and which I believe doesn't make this month's issue as good as some others.
Obviously as we all know, you are limited somewhat by the submissions you receive. Even so, it seems critical to me, in order to allow you to choose a good mix each month, to build up a backlog of articles. This is a standard best practice of other magazines. While that might be frustrating to some authors, in having to wait a few months to see their article used, it is what is best for the magazine. Again though, that presumes having enough such submissions in the first place, and then enough of the total that are good enough to be published in the second place.
