Message: "I am seriously interested in becoming a moderator for the Texas Lesbian Networking group. I’m came out to everyone in September, but came out to myself in January. I’m in the process of a divorce, so I really cannot do it until that is final, probably in February. This is a great nurturing, safe place on the net for lesbians, and I want to contribute to it, knowing how vital it is for women to have that support system, especially when they are coming out. Let me know what I can do!" Pam

Message: "Hello, I was wondering how would someone go about getting reviewed by your magazine? One of my favorite musicians, Nedra Johnson, has released a new album earlier this year and I want to help her promote it since she is an independent artist who I admire and respect deeply. I have such a reverence for independent artist, especially those who are ‘out,’ because their music comes from a deeper place. They are not willing to sacrifice their true self and integrity to fit into mainstream media. I imagine that being an independent lesbian artist is not very glamorous, but it is a labor of love and they get paid in other ways. I feel that my role in the lesbian and women community, is to help this artist, and others, in whatever ways I can. Nedra’s music is so empowering! She’s a multi-instrumentalist and has written all of her songs, well she does have one remake of "Amazon," originally written and sung by Women’s Music Pioneer, Maxine Feldman. Nedra has received really good reviews so far on her latest album, self titled "Nedra" and on her first album called, "Testify." She has played at Women, Folk and Jazz music festivals both nationally and internationally. Her music is a delicious blend of Blues, Jazz, Folk, Funk, R&B and Gospel. She creates all forms of imagery with her very honest, bold and brave songs. She mixes the political with the erotic and spiritual. The links in my signature will take you to Nedra’s site where you can read more about her, her previous reviews and listen to her music.Nedra not only empowers through her music, but by proactively taking part in community building when the opportunity arises. She has performed at benefits for breast cancer, victims of the Katrina tragedy, Kay Gardner Memorial Festival Fund and most recently, has offered to perform at a dog benefit for the non profit dog rescue organization that I volunteer for, Stray From The Heart (www.strayfromtheheart.org). The benefit is on December 1st, in case you or any animal lovers you know might be interested in attending or donating something to our goodie bags or raffle. : ) If you read this far, thank you profusely! I also want to thank you for your time and giving our community a voice. I love your website! I hope to hear from you!!" Nana

Message: "Good Morning, I am writing to ask if you might be interested in looking at a game I created, produced and sold called "C’EST La Vie: The Game of Lesbian Life." I ran one printing of the game (2,000 copies) and my partner and I marketed and sold it in the mid-nineties. The game sold very well, and was carried by bookstores across the nation and in Canada. However, at that time, Internet sales were not a big option and continuing to produce, market and sell the games ourselves was more effort than we could commit to, so we only did one run of the game. It is an excellent game that was well-received by all who played. I would very much like to see it back on the market, and so I am looking for a publisher who would be interested in producing it. It is extremely unique; I have never seen anything like it anywhere. I have all the printers files and am looking for a buyer who will buy the rights to the game. If you are interested, or may be able to recommend someone who would be, I would be happy to hear from you. Thank you for your time." Joanne

Message: "I honestly have never been on this site to tell you anything about it. So far from what I have seen of it though I like it."

Message: "Dear Amazing Dreams, I am writing in hopes that you may be able to put me in contact with some visual artist for a publication Umbrage Editions (NYC) is putting together called Amazons & Sirens: A Visual History of Lesbianism. We are currently looking for lesbian identified photographers to submit artwork for our book. Below is more about our project. Amazons & Sirens: A Visual History of Lesbianism Exploring the most intimate and romantic of relationships between women, Amazons & Sirens will be the first of its kind: an elegantly original, luxurious large-format book on the visual history of lesbianism. The primary focus of this illustrated volume will concentrate on the 20th century, which has seen the rise of a vibrant lesbian presence like no other era. The photographs in Amazons & Sirens will strive to document this important emergence presenting both how lesbians have been depicted by others and the self-actualization of their own image-creating visibility, avoiding stereotyping, and circumventing ignorance. While a few books by and for lesbians detailing their history exist, nothing like the lavish visual treatment of Amazons & Sirens has yet been published. It is sure to be received by women who love women with acclaim. UMBRAGE EDITIONS is a New York-based award-winning publisher and packager of provocative visual books and multimedia projects including high-quality visual books, traveling exhibitions, and multimedia projects. Umbrage projects vary in subject matter from classic photojournalism to cutting-edge art, from pop culture to global human rights. If you know of any photographers who may want to be included in Amazons, I would love to get in contact with them. Please feel free to check out our website at www.umbragebooks.com or e-mail me with any questions regarding the book." Thank you, Cora

Message: "Dear Womyn: I stumbled upon your web site and was very impressed by your art work. I am a writer/photographer in the middle of putting a book together about lesbians kissing and the importance this act is to us as lesbians and the lesbian community. You can view my web site that talks more in length about this project. I am writing because I would very much like to use some of the photos from your web site in this book. As there are a number of different artists being represented in this collection, I was hoping you might be able to contact them and ask them if they’d be interested. Or email me directly. There is a timeliness to this as I need to get the photos for the book to the publisher by the end of December so please let me know ASAP. Thanks!" Alison
