I enjoy your magazine tremendously and would love to get the hard copy because I like to reread the articles and the recipes you have in the magazine. Could you please tell me where I can go to get a new copy and when does the magazine come out. For example once monthly or bi-monthly. Thank you very much and may you be blessed daily.
-Melissa M.


I love this magazine. Tears of joy flooded my eyes when I found the edition of Cassie Wright. She is such a loving person with such strength and endurance. Then the next issue sharing the journey of Wynn McBrayer and his family was amazing.
-Beth B.

I saw an electronic copy of your magazine on FB and wondered how I might subscribe? I live in Tallapoosa. I am really excited about this project. Do you have an advertising pamphlet, too? I might be able to do some advertisement in 2016. Congrats on the launch and I wish you success with this!
-Sara A.


I would just like to say that I am a big fan of the magazine. I first came across your magazine at my doctor’s office. Since then I have kept up online and loved every bit of it.

Congratulations on your beautiful publication. It continues to surprise me, each month since its inception. This month, I see beloved Dr. Fred Richards! Last month, you worked with Steve and Sharon at West Georgia Ambulance. It is exciting to see these pillars in our community being celebrated.


With Best Regards for Continued Success,
-Denise C.


Great job! Picked up your magazine at my allergy doctor’s office. Was very impressed. Found a couple of other issues there and read them all. The next day I picked up latest issue at my Publix in Carrollton. Thanks for a very impressive addition to our community. I look forward to the next issues. A 70+ woman from Carrollton says kudos to you and your staff. Keep it up!
-Carol B.

I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying the magazine in its entirety! To focus on the successes and lives of women in our area is wonderful!

-Wendy C.


You created a stir with the “man” edition. Good, fun feedback.
I was at the beach with our son and family last week when it hit the stands and the first person I heard from was our daughter, Katie, in Mozambique, Africa saying she loved it.
I had not even told her about it. Your magazine is going international.
-Daniel Jackson (One of our features in August 2016 “The Man” issue)


Hello. As a follower of the WGW magazine, I wanted to reach out to you and recommend an amazing woman who I think falls right in line with the people I have seen featured in your wonderful magazine. She loves her community and seeks ways every day to serve it. She exemplifies the type of strong loving woman so many of us strive to be. Thank you for taking the time to read about my wonderful friend and coworker!
-Crystal T.

-Melissa M.


Hi, I wanted to tell you, congratulations on your magazine. I really enjoy picking up my copy at Kroger. It is so informative and you have some interesting articles. I picked up a copy this morning, and couldn’t wait to see the article on Jay Gill, as someone had posted it on FB and Fred Richards, what a remarkable man. I wish you continued success.
-Charlene M.


I saw your August magazine at the doctor’s office this morning. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Can’t wait for the next Man issue.

Your magazine is super exciting and reaches the demographic that I need to reach, and your prices are reasonable for what you get in return.

I really love your magazines. I saw Karen after her article ran and told her how much I loved the dog therapy she does!! What a great idea!! We have rescue dogs too, but taking in seniors one at a time is a fabulous undertaking. What a great heart!
Thanks again!
-Tammy M.


Great! I love the magazine and enjoy it, so great job!

I’ve been reading your magazine for several months now and it is a fabulous publication, really beautiful! It’s good to have such a wonderful resource in West Georgia. Congratulations on your great success, and thank you for giving West Georgia a publication that is not only beautiful, but also full of interesting, well-written stories. I especially enjoyed your article about Karen Vance. I’ve known her for years, but still learned new things from your story!
-Sally R.


I wanted to write to say “thank you” to you and your AMAZING staff on a job well done with the West Georgia Woman publication.

I have truly enjoyed reading my copy each month and look forward to receiving each new edition.

As you mentioned in your anniversary letter – “as women in this world, it is difficult to accept praise for a job well done, and often we are taught at a young age to downplay our accomplishments.”  Thank you for not downplaying your accomplishments with this one.
-Dana W.


My Weight Watchers leader has been sharing Habiba Shaw’s articles with her meetings, and she wanted a hard copy of it. I shared the digital copy with her. Your publication is first-rate.
-Robert C.


I so enjoyed reading your article in the Anniversary Issue of West Georgia Woman. I could relate to your story because I used to work in an office full of women and they did some really horrible and cut-throat things to each other out of hate and jealousy. I’m so glad you wrote that story. Most people wouldn’t have the courage to share what you did, but the sad thing is that many people have been in the same position or have seen exactly the same thing in their own work environments. What those women don’t realize is when they did that to you, they gave you more power than you could have imagined. I believe God had this magazine planned for you when you were going through that awful time in your life. I applaud you and thank you for sharing your story. Your magazine is the best thing that has ever happened to West Georgia!
-Mary D.


I felt compelled to let you know what an awesome achievement you’ve made and I’m proud for you. I just read your November issue of West Georgia Woman. I actually have read several and they were great. I am happy for you. You’ve made the magazine a great success and it’s motivational to see that you turned a hurtful negative into such a great positive for yourself, as I’m sure everyone realizes. Happy Thanksgiving.
-Michelle W.


My youngest son picked up my copy of the November WGW & read it cover to Cover!! He loved it! You have yet another fan! Thank you for bringing this great Magazine to our community.

-Mark S.


I want you to know that I can’t wait to read your magazine every month. I tell every woman I know how wonderful it is and that this is a magazine I read from cover to cover. Every story inside is interesting and informative. I love your magazine so much and I look forward to picking up my copy every month.
-Darlene


I am a big fan of the West Georgia Woman, and I enjoying reading the interesting articles and seeing whats new in each edition.
-Melissa H.


I wanted to tell you how wonderful I thought the feature article on Ammie in February was. It was well-written and I so appreciated that the entire focus was on her and not her attacker. More so, I really thought the emphasis on this as domestic violence was crucial because often, I believe, there is misunderstanding about domestic violence and people forget it’s about any family or household members, not just couples.
-Sara A.


This story was amazing!!!! (February 2017 issue on Ammie Beamon) Thank you for sharing!
-Jo R.


I’m a big fan of your magazine. Such thoughtful profiles and great diversity too.
-Mimi G.


I love the magazine! I recommend it and look forward to every issue.
-Tiffany C.


I picked up your December 2016 issue at the doctor’s office – the one with Babbie Mason on the cover and I want you to know this magazine has literally changed my life. I am a recording artist who didn’t know who to reach out to in order to further my career. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me.

Thank you for the powerful stories that you feature each month in the West Georgia Woman Magazine. I am so inspired!

Thank you again for sharing such beautiful stories of hope each month.
-Johnnie P.


I look forward to keeping up with your magazine from now on. I am so happy that I saw it at the doctor’s office in Villa Rica.

-Terra F.


You’ve given voice to an assortment of other women who have risen above their own personal hardship and trauma. Your
magazine and your determination have enabled so many to understand that they, too, can move forward with their lives – regardless of whatever befalls them in life. You are truly a force to be reckoned with in any setting – and an inspiration in this community (and beyond).

-Wanda M.

The lady, Dawn Dininger – a phenomenon herself! I hope other readers found the story about her – with photos – as interesting as I did. Thanks for introducing her to me.
-Ruth W.


You knocked it out of the park. From cover to cover. Beautiful. LOVE!
-Jennifer S.


I commend you for the wonderful, good and thorough article that you did with your magazine on Ruth Wilvert. I’ve enjoyed the magazine immensely. Thank you so much.
-Rita M.


I have a wedding dress I want to donate. I loved the article you had in your magazine recently & I know Sandra Wilburn. She is a precious jewel. I want her to have it.
-Kay D.


I think it gives such great visibility to so many women in the community, and really stresses the strengths of the women you feature. I know that I repeatedly hear good things about the magazine.
-Sara A.


A couple of weeks ago I called and requested the West Georgia Woman magazine because a dear friend of mine, Mrs. Wilvert, was highlighted in the magazine. I wanted to let you know I received the magazine and I enjoyed it immensely. I thought it was a wonderful article, and I want to praise you and your staff for that because she is, by all means, a great lady. So, again my sincere thanks to you and your staff for a wonderful job and I will sincerely cherish that magazine for as long as I live. Thanks again and have a happy holiday.
-Teri W.


Angela, I love you and I love your magazine. It just makes my day to pick up West Georgia Woman. Since my husband passed, your magazine is the only thing that keeps me strong and feeling empowered. Women are strong and have power. I don’t think you realize what you have done for our community by giving us this magazine each month.
-Mary D.


We don’t know how you do all you do, but we are so thankful for what you do for our community through this magazine each month. You and your team/family remains in our prayers, we wish you much love, peace, and abundance.

Input from readers regarding September 2016 and 2017 issues – Faces of Suicide

First, let me say how compelling the September issue is! I have read it cover to cover, cried, laughed, prayed, and have become more educated with the issue of suicide. My eyes and heart are more open to this problem! Thank you, thank you for sharing your heart. I can’t imagine the pain, emotions, and healing that you have felt during the process of producing the issue. I commend you and thank you again for your hard work and dedication!
-Katie K.


I read every article in the magazine and it really helped me. Especially the one that the woman said she was there when it happened and it didn’t make a difference. For all these years, I thought that had I been there, I could have saved him. Thanks again for the magazine, I read it every month. If I can ever help you, call me.
-Brenda P.


I was so moved by the publication.
-Larry S.


I was reading through your September publication and wondered if we might be able to use some of what you published in it to provide as handouts at our event? Specifically, the pages with “Know the Warning Signs Of Suicide In Youth Up To The Age of 24” and adjacent page and “Youth Suicide Fact Sheet” and adjacent page? Please let me know if this is agreeable.
-Ann P.


It’s a true labor of love. I hope people will pick up this issue for the sake of curiosity and learn so much more than they could imagine about suicide, grief, and prevention.
Bless you! You’re doing great work for the cause. YOU are making a difference!
-Terri J.


So hard to read. A great service to those affected and those who aren’t.
-Dee Dee M.


I have been reading the new issue on line. I love it and can’t wait to get my hands on a paper copy! Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work on this issue.
-Judy T.


I picked up the September issue at Publix about an hour ago. Haven’t had time to read much, but can tell you’ve done a beautiful job, as always.
-Mary Ellen T.


I lost my nephew to suicide September, 2012. It’s still hurting our family today and we all have the same questions, why and how could I have stopped it? I’m glad you took on the story, not easy but it is an epidemic that seems to affecting so many young people.
-Greg


I really enjoy the magazine. I’m giving this Sept. issue to each of my family members. My brother, at age 54, died by suicide after a rollercoaster ride (multiple failed relationships, drug dependency, difficulty finding/ keeping work) of life. A few of the stories in Sept. issue really hit to the core. I appreciate the work you do to keep up awareness.
-Karen L.


Hi, I just wanted to tell you I am new to Coweta county and picked up a copy of West GA Woman at the library. It was the September issue I think and its focus was on suicides and the impact they had on the survivors, etc. I found the stories extremely compelling and heartbreaking, but I learned a lot about a subject that is too often not talked about or still taboo in this culture. It has definitely made me more aware of this issue among young people and more compassionate towards people in general.
-Lori L.


I appreciate articles such as this. My mother was a suicide. You are never the same when it happens to you.
-Anonymous


I started a ministry with a crisis line for suicide prevention. Thanks for your recent September copy of The Faces of Suicide.
-Charlotte F.


I live in Connecticut and my daughter lives in Georgia. I read your West Georgia Woman magazine from September 2016 about suicide and I was very touched by it. I’m hoping I can get your permission, I would like to see about having our local paper put some information from the magazine in our paper. I think it’s awesome what you’re doing here. Thank you.
-Jeanette
