To the Everywhere Community,
Launching a travel magazine was always an ambitious undertaking, but 8020 Publishing is committed to the idea of creating beautiful publications that combine the vitality of the Web with the richness of print. You made it possible for us to produce four terrific issues of Everywhere, but sadly we must now suspend publication of the magazine.Why? At the end of the day, we just aren't where we need to be, business-wise, with the website or magazine. Suspending publication of Everywhere will enable 8020 Publishing to focus on improving the community platform behind JPG Magazine, 8020's other title. That, in turn, will benefit all the future titles 8020 plans to produce.In the meantime, the Everywhere website at www.everywheremag.com will remain online so you can continue to share your travel stories and photos. If you subscribed to Everywhere, you will be contacted in the upcoming weeks with information about refund options. Selected contributors for our upcoming issue, Issue 04, will be contacted later this week with their payment information. It goes without saying that this is a disappointing turn of events. Most of all, though, I can't tell you how much we enjoyed having the opportunity to collaborate with so many intrepid travelers, wonderful writers, and talented photographers. It's been a privilege working with you all, and we had a ton of fun along the way. You've inspired us, entertained us, awed us, and given us an incurable case of wanderlust. Thank you.
Best wishes,
Everywhere Magazine

Don't give up the ship too quickly: Perhaps your travel-publishing dreams may yet be fulfilled. Have you given thought to contacting and seeking advice from Mara Vorhees, of "Lonely Planet"? The woman is one of the world's leading authorites on international travel, and she's a Russia-lover, to boot. I happened on her blogsite while Googling for photographs of Suzdal several days ago. Surely she'd be a great person with whom to establish a conduit. Take care!
