When you hear the word community, what’s the first thing that pops into your mind?
We're not talking Webster's definition. We're talking about how the word makes you feel. Who do you instantly think of? And why do you consider them your community?
We use the word a lot around here. We're a small but mighty team, and we strive every day to be a little different from the rest. We've had folks reach out by email, DM, or even call the customer service line just to chat about a recent review, ask for recommendations, or simply just tell us how much they enjoyed a particular story from an issue. We often find ourselves lost in conversation, just like we're talking to a buddy.
That's what we want to give all of you. A community. Somewhere you look forward to “going” every day or week, whether it's over the internet, in print, or in person.
Community is what keeps us going. Join ours.
