Welcome to Denver Woman Magazine Online

letter from the editor by Judith B. Taylor It was just two and one-half years ago that DENVER WOMAN premiered its first issue. Excitement permeated the marketplace. DENVER WOMAN eclipsed other previous women’s magazines in the local market with its style, substance and full-color presentation. Having been closely involved in the Denver women’s community for more than 20 years, my intent was to be part of a magazine that would bring longevity and a high-quality product to this market. Based on feedback we continually hear, those goals have been met. Every story, every photo and every layout is a wellthought-out process. The enthusiastic response in this highly competitive market shows promise of more growth, more dazzling visuals with meaningful and fun content. As with any dream fulfilled, there comes a time of natural progression to the next step. Being immersed in what is often called the “women’s market” has led to new insights and opportunities about this very market. Now it is time for me to focus on the next phase — from corporate and college presentations to articles and a possible book based on a practitioner’s view in this high-growth market. I will continue to serve in a supportive role as editor-at-large, and DENVER WOMAN will remain near and dear to my heart. Staying involved and working with the team on an intermittent basis are important parts of the overall plan. Part of my experience over the years included working with Ellen Gray on another woman’s magazine. We spoke the same language and resonated in our views about our local Denver culture when it came to magazine content and overall direction. We managed to laugh through tough deadlines and make things happen. I am pleased to see Ellen come on board as the new editor. Over and over I have heard comments about her superb perspective and exceptional stories. In the process of growth and transition at DENVER WOMAN magazine, we also welcome Libby Ancona and Kristie Selinger, two new high-energy advertising account executives.
