Just over two months ago when we announced, via our newly created

monthly newsletter, that JamaicanEats magazine would become a

digital publication, we heard from our readers.

Some of you liked the idea and quickly subscribed for the digital

edition. A handful noted that you had no desire for a digital magazine.

Many of you commented that while you were not thrilled by the move

you would remain loyal readers.

Thanks to Mary Petty of London, England, and several other readers,

we’re introducing the JAmAICANEATS mEmBERShIP PROgRAmas a way to support both a printed (hard copy) and digital version.

what do you mean by hard (printed)

copy magazine?

This is the physical magazine printed on

paper.

what do you mean by digital (e-zine)

magazine?

This is an electronic or computer-based

magazine. It can be read online or

downloaded from a particular web site

to your computer.

when and why did you decide to

have a digital magazine?

The decision was made earlier in 2010

after much consideration to take advan-

tage of technology.

Many small and niche market publish-

ers are going this route, because it pro-

vides flexibility, greater reach and

allows them to continue publishing.

Are you going to now have a hard

copy and a digital version of

JamaicanEats magazine?

Yes. The introduction of the Ja-

maicanEats Membership ship program

will allow us to offer both versions.

This provides options for readers who

want to do away with paper and prefer a

digital magazine, and it satisfies readers

who prefer to have the paper version of

the magazine in hand.

what is the difference between being

a subscriber and a member?

Subscribers get 4 editions of the

(printed)magazine.

Those who subscribe to the digital ver-

sion will get the digital version only.

Members receive:

4 editions of the printed and digital ver-

sions of the magazine.

* A gorgeous Caribbean food calendar

(with recipes from various islands).

* A CD of Jamaican proverbs and the

quirks of island life by well known

Jamaican writer, cultural educator and

comedienne Joan Andrea Hutchinson.

*Members only access to a section of

the JamaicanEats web site. This area of

the site will include all the recipes

printed in JamaicanEats magazine and

updated with each new edition.

Recipes will be indexed, saving time

and frustration of locating, then search-

ing through each back edition to find a

recipe.

* Giveaways for members only.

Throughout the year members will be

able to win great prizes. Join by August

31, 2010, and be entered to win Rose-

mary Parkinson’s much sought after
