Hey Folks
Welcome to The Aquarium Gazette. A new and exciting
aquarium magazine, which is packed with exciting and creative features that
forward the boundaries of aquatic journalism.
The Editor
David Marshall is a member of the Ryedale Aquarist Society (N. Yorkshire) where
he is now in his 23rd year as Secretary. He is someone who is well known to
fishkeepers, particularly in the North of England, is a very enthusiastic and
experienced fishkeeper, as well as being a Y.A.A.S. ‘A’-class judge.
On the writing side of his fish interest David has written many articles for
commercial aquatic magazines, for the magazines of Aquatic Societies and
Associations (he is currently the Editor of the Y.A.A.S. Newsletter) and you
will find his work featured on many websites - most notably Aquarticles.
The Magazine
To begin the project David was able to call upon the friendship
he had built, over many years, with several established aquarium fish writers
and photographers and with new friendships forged through North East Aquatics,
Northern Tropical News and Petfrd websites the 'call' for contributions went out
and the response was amazing. THANK YOU to one and all.
David used his experience of over 20 years writing for and doing Editorial
work for various aquatic magazines as a 'good grounding' in putting TAG together
and tells us that he finds much pleasure in working with so many talented
contributors.
Each Issue of TAG contains around 70 pages At the present time each Issue
contains an average of 13 articles. Most of these articles are
being published for the first time and are a mixture of tropical freshwater,
marine, coldwater, conservation, aquatic plants, general aquatic, places to
visit and aquatic cryptozoological features.
But TAG is not just about articles, part of its aim is also to support aquatic
groups and Societies and as such offers your Secretary a 'free page' to tell us
all about you on our 'Make Friends' section and/or a chance to place news of
forthcoming events in ‘Diary Dates’.
Budding writers and photographers' please note that your chance is here to
contribute (just drop an e-mail to aquarium gazette at yahoo.com). One published
article, gratefully received, originally came to us in pencil so don't worry
about the format etc.
TAG is a lively and informative magazine with plenty of interest for both
experienced and novice fishkeepers.
The Format
The Aquarium Gazette is
available, on a bi-monthly basis, in both Word 2000 and PDF formats
(the PDF version is suitable for downloading to the e-books hardware; - although
the photographs will be in black and white).
