IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT !

The BDC is starting a new and exciting phase - we ’ re moving to a free-subscription platform as of January 2018 , as we begin our 16th year of publication . We started in print , and moved to digital-only just 2 years ago , and now , by switching to a free subscription format , The BDC will be readily available to more readers than ever .
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OUR SUBSCRIBERS ? It means that The BDC will continue to share your stories , your news , your reviews , your events , and your photos — but now it will be easier for you to access all that fabulous content . You ’ ll be able to continue to use Joomag . com to access your magazine issues and , if you continue to subscribe , Joomag will continue to notify you every time we publish a new issue . ( And did you know that Joomag is available in both the Apple Store and Google Play for your mobile devices and tablets ?) Don ’ t forget : You can download each issue in PDF format for safe-keeping and offline viewing , and you can print pages directly from Joomag . And for those who really just need a hard copy in their hands , Joomag offers hard copies by special order .
If you are a current paid subscriber , we will be contacting you in the upcoming quarter to reimburse you for any issues remaining in your subscription ! And when we make the switch to free with the January issue , Joomag will roll over your account and still notify you when a new issue is available .
( And , well …. It ’ s free ! Did we mention – FREE ?)
BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OUR ADVERTISERS AND WRITERS ? The move to free subscriptions means you have the potential to reach a larger audience . It also means readers will be able to view the ENTIRE magazine from Facebook using the mini-viewer , without ever having to leave their activity feeds ! Plus , we will be adding a viewer to our BDC website for even more accessibility and convenience . Giving our readers the ability to subscribe and to flip through the magazine on social media sites and websites , means that our readership – and your audience – will grow . And grow .
This is a very exciting time for us and we simply couldn ’ t do it without you – our readers , writers , photographers , and advertisers – our many supporters over the last 15 years ! As always , please let us know if you have any questions … we ’ ll be happy to help .
With love , Isis , Del , Cassie , Heather and the staff of The Belly Dance Chronicles chronicles @ isisandthestardancers . com www . thebellydancechronicles . com Find us on Joomag !
