I would buy this magazine subscription as well!

Great idea indeed! I have a feeling it would be something like the Southeastern Palm Society's journals Home Page . They produce them 4 times a year but more often would be great. I'm a member of SPS and would also be interested in any banana publication that is created.

Love that cover and layout.

Yeah, it's also a good idea. I want to read the new banana magazine in Brazil.

Hi Jarred
and all banana growers

I think your idea are exceptional and very amazing, but you would consider the difficulties in edition, reading evaluation and correction of proofs, quality of picures etc; also if there are people from the forum to contact with scientific reserches or similar for more specific articles (like biology, reproduction, wheather, soil, diseases and many other topics about banana´s world)

my idea was that one initial approach may be only a semestral magazine in the first year, and when you know the people that help you with the magazine, suscriptions, acceptation etc, you can evalute the possibility to increse three issues per year or quartely

if you need help, email me, but remember that my main difficult are related with the language (my english is poor and with grammatical errors)

best regards
Carlos FV

Evaluation and correction of proofs, picture quality, and edition are not problems for us. I speak as the managing editor of the magazine, and also as a professional graphic designer and layout artist. Other members of the magazine group have contacts within the scientific community in order to secure academic papers for publishing alongside member-contributed content, and a number of our contributors are professional horticulturists and field researchers. So we're not terribly concerned with content or issue length (with the current slate of submitted articles, we run to 41 pages.) At the moment, the main problem is advertisers.

Evaluación y corección de las pruebas, calidad de los fotos, y edición no son problemas para nosotros. Yo hablo como editorio ejecutivo de la revista, y también como diseñadora gráfica y artista de composición profesional. Otros miembros tienen contactos en el comunidad escientifico para poder segurar articulos academicos para publicación a lado con contenido generado por los miembros del grupo de la revista, y también hay investigadores del campo y horticulturistos en la miembreza de la revista. No somos tan ocupados con contenido ni tamaño del primer volumen de la revista (con los articulos vigentes, tenemos 41 páginas.) Ahora, lo que nos ocupen es advertisimiento.

Este dicho, si ud. quiere ayudarnos, puede apoyarme con el traducción de los articulos hasta Castellano para el mercado sudamericano y española. Mi Castellano es funcional, pero no es lo mejor, y además uso yo frases idiomaticas al Ecuador (como las palabras Quichuas y Shuaras que se usen aqui pero en ningun otra parte del mundo.)

Gracias de avisarnos de sus preocupaciones. Espero que este se soluciones algunas de ellos.
