This email will hopefully fly better.<BR><BR>I am looking for submissions for the February K Factor. I need articles,<BR>photos, and I would very much like cover shots (preferably with people<BR>in them). If you send an article I would greatly appreciate a “head<BR>shot” with it (look at the January issue to see what I mean). Actually<BR>your pattern associates would probably like it more. It’s always nice to<BR>see who is doing the “talking” and it also helps to foster recognition<BR>(I’m lousy at putting names to faces, but I always remember a face). You<BR>may even meet the person at a future event or contest.<BR><BR>I must say this January issue was by far the most enjoyable<BR>newsletter/magazine I have ever put together. I received quality content<BR>and I wish to thanks all those who submitted.<BR><BR>Just remember to send pictures at the best resolution you can. I did<BR>receive some great pictures that were of to low of quality to make the<BR>cover. I’m doing the best I can at getting them inside the magazine.<BR><BR>Once again, Thanks!<BR><BR>John Avery<BR>Avery Publishing and Graphics<BR>PO Box 282<BR>Vonore, TN 37885<BR>(865) 856-0480<BR>www.averypublishing.com <BR> <BR><BR><BR>============# To be removed from this list, send a message to <BR># discussion-request@nsrca.org<BR># and put leave discussion on the first line of the body.<BR>#<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
