The Penturners Almanac has started up.
We have been contacting people and suppliers. Planning for a November publication date. Hopefully will have a unbound printed half way through version for provo for everyone to sneak a peek.
A website will be set up in the next few weeks for the almanac and to tell more about it. Here is a sample of what we are looking at:
Subscriptions starting at 10.00 pre publication and 12.00 after publication. Proceeds that we make will go towards benefiting the Penturning website forums that contribute to the almanac. So far The Pen Shop and IAP have committed. I am still talking with the Yahoo and PMG. So far the advertisers are going good also. Within 30 minutes of starting, we had one half page ad and one full page ad.
All proceeds after everything is paid for will help the sites out and also help start other Penturning related topics. Maybe a Penturning rendezvous in the south or east.
Here is kind of a starting list of who is committed or almost committed:
Jim Lambert: Websites and Penturning
The Pen Shop
The IAP
Russ Fairfield
CSUSA- have talked with Nils and he is working on maybe an ad and maybe an article.
Bear Tooth Woods- Full Page ad
Wood Chips- Half Page ad
??????- handmade pens up against the big guys.
??????- looking for someone to do one on which way penturners are going, wood or man made materials.
???????- Selling and Marketing
???????- Pen Shows
Suppliers- upcoming news and events
Penturners Photographs- couple of pages of penturners and photographs of their pens. Just a thought.
Supplier Directory
????????? and anything else I, you, we, or anyone else can think of.
Everything is not set in stone yet. When we have everything ready, it will be put on the website.
