Audrey
The only thing wrong with Audrey Magazine is the short articles and other how to do sections. It does not go into great details. Other than that it is cool.This magazine does a good job highlighting up and coming Asian Americans in the mainstream US media. At the same time, it has a semi-grassroots feel, but with mainstream issues still in mind. It will only get better as it gets more advertisers.

Pastel Journal (1-year)
I'm amending this review. I got a subscription and the delivery was horrible. I often did not get issues unless I emailed the company, or they came very late. It seems as if they're extremely disorganized I'm not sure what's going on, but I did not continue my subscription. Beware!I find this is worthy of a subscription to keep up with info, artists names, and some excellent art. I find some issues have artists with horrible compositions, weak or incorrect values, inconsistant light sources, or temperature control in paintings. I am open to abstracts, tight realism, loose impressionism, surrealism, etc but ALL SHOULD have correct design principles and fundamentals. About every 3 issues is a winner with 7/8 of the artists strong but some of the other issues you are lucky to find 1/4 that don't look like they are a novice.

This is generally my problem with art magazines. I have better luck with instructive videos when it comes to painting and drawing.Read Best Reviews of Pastel Journal (1-year) Here
Pastel Journal first issue arrived before Xmas!What a surprise for my artist friend. She
called right away to thank me. Said it was a great gift since with each issue she learns and is inspired.
Nothing could please me more than to hear the gratitude in her voice.
Thanks Amazon for fast processing!I bought this with the intention of reading Pastel Journal on my rooted Nook. I was disappointed after purchasing this when I found out it's only compatible with Kindles or iPads not the Android Kindle app. The print version of the magazine is great though.

Arthritis Today (1-year auto-renewal)
Been reading it 10+ years--like the $5 discount.
Have trouble getting the magazines--they've missed 3 months this year alone.I had been getting this magazine through the Arthritis Foundation but found it to be cheaper on amazon, especially this month with the extra $5.00 off! I am very grateful for this, as it is a good & helpful magazine but kind of expensive. However, the information contained in it is helpful for many different Arthritic conditions, including Fibromyalgia which I have in addition to some Arthritis.
I appreciate the basically upbeat & positive viewpoint of this magazine. It always provides a lift when it comes in the mail. The overall tone of the articles & information is informative & generally helpful, with features about recent research. I found one article that almost exactly replicated some medication information that my doctor had just told me. It was good to see that information in this publication & I brought it to show my doctor who seemed impressed with its accuracy. I would definitely recommend this magazine for anyone with most arthritic conditions. It makes life feel more "possible" when you feel down from pain.

I expected more content from this magazine. There are so many medication advertisements in every issue.I am so frustrated with all the ads that I will not be renewing my subscription.

Before Amazon had added magazine subscriptions, I was a loyal subscriber to Arthritis Today because it is well written, up-to-date, and a most informative aid to those of us with arthritis and related diseases.Since I am a loyal and frequent buyer from Amazon.com, I was very happy to renew my Arthritis Today subscription in addition to purchasing other products.Every issue i get the first thing i do is sit down and tear out all the drug/pharmaceutical ads, and there are a lot of them. By the time i am done removing the ads there is almost nothing left of the magazine; very few articles in comparison to ads. And it is also true that their primary focus is RA, although they do mention Fibromyalgia and other rheumatic diseases in passing. I can't say i have really benefited much from having the magazine around.

Poetry
I certainly hope they don't change the size or shape of the publication. It is the perfect size to carry in your purse just in case you want something to read as you wait in line or run your errands. I like the style of the magazine, it suits the topic.Poetry magazine out of Chicago has been around since stew was invented. (When mankind first crawled up out of the swamp and discovered fire, what they had for dinner that night was stew). Well, ok, they're 75 years old and counting. You don't hang around that long unless you're the best. I first discovered them in a college library many, many years worth of copies it was a treasure trove of the 1st magnitude. There's invariably one or more poems (if not the majority)in each issue that'll make you glad you subscribed. No, they're not big on pictures (none but the cover and I remember one year when it was a drawing that didn't change for the whole year...urg) but it IS the best Poetry Magazine you will ever find.

The older I get, the more am I fond of poetry. This is partly due to my increasing appreciation of this literary/artistic form, and partly with my increasing vexation with short fiction and literature as it has been published in recent years. It seems to me that poets are increasingly the ones who take chances with subject matter and form, while short stories for instance increasingly feel like cafeteria food despite all the supposed outward differences, most stories increasingly "taste" the same. Consequently, I have started paying more attention to poetry in various fiction journals, and have eventually come across "Poetry" journal. What I found there immensely impressed me. The journal consistently publishes some really high-quality poems. The poems invariably explore the depths of this genre; they are fresh and oftentimes provocative without being programmatic. The journal also frequently publishes translations of foreign-language poems. This practice is much more prevalent in European poetry journals, and it's good to see it on this side of the Atlantic as well. There are also frequent critical essays on all aspects of poetry. In other words, this is one of the best and most original poetry journals that you could ever hope to come across. If you love poetry, you will not go wrong with subscribing with it. I'd just suggest that you shop around a bit for the best subscription deal.Bottom-Line: The asking price for subscription is steep but "Poetry Magazine" is well worth the asking price.When I first started writing poetry, I did so as a cathartic release, a soul cleansing exercise I needed to survive a very trying time in my life. Somewhere along to 100th poem I became convinced that I just had to be published in order feel like a real poet. And so I started visiting on-line writing sites and posting my poetry there in hopes of being discovered. So much for that! But I did hear about a periodical called "Poetry Magazine" a publication that could help me hone my craft, improve my presentation and style, and well, get published.
"Poetry Magazine"--a for-profit periodical--is published twelve times per year, by the Poetry Foundation, which is "an independent literary organization committed to a vigorous presence for poetry in our culture. It exists to discover and celebrate the best poetry and to place it before the largest possible audience." The magazine was founded in Chicago in 1912 by Harriet Monroe making Poetry Magazine the oldest monthly "devoted to verse in the English-speaking world." Poetry Magazine's stated mission is "to print the best poetry written today, in whatever style, genre, or approach." The magazine quickly established its reputation by publishing such notable poets as T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, H. D., William Carlos Williams, Carl Sandburg. As well as other well know and now celebrated poets.
Individual issues cost $3.75/U.S., $5.00 CAN, with a yearly subscription running $35.00 /$46.00 CAN, for a year; International subscriptions cost $46.00. I have had a subscription off and on for the past five years; it's on again.
"Poetry Magazine" is a publication for poets (and those who enjoy poetry) featuring the works of other poets. "Poetry Magazine" is not really a magazine about the art of writing poetry itself, but instead concentrates on publishing poetry of new and established poets. Do not open its mostly black and white print pages and expect articles about how to market your efforts or an in-depth analysis on how to write the perfect short story or craft the quintessential poem, you'll be disappointed. What you will find is a fairly unadorned little magazine that at most features as many as four poets at a time, publishing poems and or short stories by the authors. In other words, "Poetry Magazine" is strictly a reader magazine with most of its number pages devoted to the written word.
Some of the authors featured in the magazine are well known while others I have never head of before, but all make for a compelling read. I have to admit that I do not always read all of the poems, some are a little non-traditional for my tastes; instead I tend to skim the magazine and pick out interesting poems or short stories that speak to me.
"Poetry Magazine" is a thin volume with very few of its pages devoted to advertising of any sort. The magazine reminds me more of a book than a magazine mostly because of its unconventional size and format. The poems start right after the Table of Content and flow uninterrupted until the advertising/ announcements section, which only take up the last eight to ten pages of the typical magazine.
The only color you'll find in "Poetry Magazine" is on the cover, the rest of the magazine is printed in black and white. I supposed this to under-gird the magazine serious nature. "Poetry Magazine" is not a large tome, checking in at around 120 pages per issue.
In the final analysis I keep coming back to "Poetry Magazine" because the content is germane to where I'm at in my life right now. And because the magazine is small and I can usually get through an issue in a couple of nights. The asking price for subscription is steep but "Poetry Magazine" is well worth the asking price, if only because it introduces the reader to poets (s)he would otherwise have very little, or no exposure to.

Timber Home Living (1-year auto-renewal)
This magazine is great for decorating and architectural ideas and was offered at a great price. More than
likely, I will be definitely renewing this magazine. It is a nice, relaxing read.

Experience Life (1-year auto-renewal)
As my subscription is due to end this month and I came here to renew, I noticed the poor review due to the customer service of the fulfillment center. If I hadn't started receiving this magazine in similar circumstances, I never would have known about it, and I would not have the improved health and fitness habits I have today as a result.
It's impressive to me that the magazine chose to respond personally to the negative reviewer here as well.Dear disappointed reader, please accept our sincere apologies. Our entire magazine team was distressed to learn about the frustrating experience you had trying to obtain a refund for your subscription to Experience Life, and we're so sorry it took this long to resolve.
Because these transactions are handled through a third-party fulfillment house, our magazine staff only just became aware of the problem this week (11/27/06). We've already taken steps to see that your money is refunded and the matter is resolved to your satisfaction. By now someone from our circulation staff should have been in contact with you directly. If not, please contact me at the phone number or email below, and I'll handle the matter personally.
After reading your post, we did some research and discovered that you received Experience Life as part of a contracted arrangement to fulfill the remainder of your Organic Style subscription after that magazine ceased publication. While your request to opt out of that fulfillment arrangement did come in after the official cancellation and refund deadline, you should never have received the treatment you did.
We've taken the matter up with our third-party fulfillment house and have expressed our dissatisfaction with this customer service representative's behavior. Actions have been taken to safeguard against situations like this from occurring in the future.
Again, we deeply regret that you were subjected to anything less than courteous and prompt treatment from our service providers. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to put the situation right.
Warm regards,
Christy Rice

As a fitness professional and healthy lifestyle coach, I continue to be impressed by the quality, depth and perspective of Experience Life magazine. The focus isn't just on how to get fit,lose weight and look better, which is refreshing. It is on how to have a healthier mindset and a healthier body. They offer practical ideas for being active (not just doing workouts), getting outdoors, eating healthier without dieting, overcoming the challenges to staying motivated, and addressing the underlying beliefs and emotions that get in the way of success.Becoming fit and healthy is less about following a prescribed set of guidelines and more about understanding what jazzes and motivates you and what holds you back, and Experience Life gets this. They do an excellent job of looking at all facets of wellbeing, which in turn creates a broader and more thoughtful perspective of what it means to live a happy and healthy lifestyle. I highly recommend this magazine if you want to feel your best.

Overall, I think that Experience Life is much better than most health magazines. They avoid stupid claims, such as "get a bikini body in 5 days," which is quite refreshing. I also like their healthy approach to nutrition, which focuses on eating healthy and nutritiously as opposed to "dieting." My only complaint about the magazine is that in the past, they have centered certain issues around a particular topic; for example, there have been issues centered around being healthy as you age or being active as a family and with your kids. In some ways, this is a positive thing and the magazine is attempting to be inclusive. However, being in my mid-twenties and not having (or planning on ever having) children, I barely read these particular issues. I don't mind one or two articles of the magazine being devoted to particular topics, but having the entire issue centered around something that isn't relevant to me is sometimes frustrating. However, overall, I was quite pleased with this magazine and I think it promotes a much more positive image of health than other magazines, particularly those "health" magazines aimed at women, such as Shape.No exaggeration, this is the greatest magazine I've ever read. I have had this subscription since 2004 and I have enjoyed every single issue. The articles are well-researched and I like how they list all of their sources. Other magazines such as Shape, Self, and Fitness seem to only care about losing weight, but Experience Life focuses on being healthy in general. I also like how Experience Life doesn't contain ads about unsafe magic diet pills like all of the other "health" magazines seem to do. I highly recommend this magazine to anyone interested in living a healthy lifestyle. As a 23 year old woman, the articles in magazine have inspired me to stop eating crap and being a couch potato like most late-teens/college students do, and start living my life in a healthful way so I can live to be 123! I have bought this subscription for others as gifts and each of them have loved it as much as I do.Wednesday, December 18, 2013
