LadyLike Magazine — Gone
I never thought I would be writing this. After 19 years of publishing LadyLike Magazine, we can no longer afford to put LadyLike on paper.
Over the past year, the cost to print LL has steadily risen. The cost to print the January 2008 issue would have been 40% higher than the January 2007 issue. When you add in shipping costs, the increase is closer to 50%.
The reasons are diverse. Subscriptions have been steadily falling due to the Internet. Distribution has fallen as small distributors close up and large outlets, like Tower Books, go bankrupt. Finally, few businesses that cater to the TG community want to advertise in print magazines. As heartbreaking as it is, we have to face reality. LadyLike is gone.
