E-zine And Magazine
Every week we put our heart and sole into this publication and our free e-zines. So when we hear how much our content has helped, inspired, or
simply brought joy to another reader, we can't help but shout for joy ourselves!
I have been reading The Dabbling Mum for years, and used to enter the Essay Contests, have even won a few! My favorite part of DM
is the ongoing interaction between Alyice and the writers who read and write for her. I love the openness, the feeling of acceptance,
and the sense that "we're all in this together"!
-- Donna Reames Rich
My favorite part of DM is the sincere encouragement of writers by the contributing writers and the editor.
-- Karen Phillips

-- Lori Boruff
I am particularly fond of the friendly, authentic writing style. Whenever I open a newsletter I feel like I am having a cup of
coffee with a friend.
-- Susan Stitch
I am just discovering how valuable your website is - Thank You!
-- Lori Boruff, HeartPrintOfHope.com
Your newsletter is always engaging, Alyice. I don't just read it, I print it out and keep it.

I have been a subscriber for quite some time now and do enjoy each issue. One of the few worth reading. The editorial in this issue
really hit home.

Uh...Ok...Now I'm feeling guilty! I HATE to admit it, but it was Karen's link to her pie recipe,
on The Dabbling Mum, that ACTUALLY AND FINALLY had me, going over to the magazine. I HAD NO IDEA! What a totally fun site,
you have! Frankly, it seems "all-purpose" to me and I just really felt playful on the site, WITHOUT feeling as if my intelligence was
insulted.
-- Gwen Cameron in SC
I can always count on getting timely, needed information in each one of the DM issues.
-- Tannia
I went to your website, and how clever are you! I love your selection of articles; the graphics.
You really touch the heartbeat of the "busy mom". Congratulations, and may the Lord bless and multiply your efforts!

What a fun site....Like a cozy gathering of intelligent and lively mums hanging out in front
of a crackling fireplace in a comfy living room. Keep up the good work!

I love this publication. It's so different than others out there. It always has fresh content and is so informative. It's genuine.
It really keeps your attention and I love that it doesn't focus only on products or services to buy or filled with tons of ads.
-- Vicky Lynch
I think the Ask Alyice Column is the most helpful [part of the e-zine] over the long run. I find the answers on target and
well thought out (not pat answers).
-- Linda Porter, Portage, MI
I'm teaching some classes at a national event (Glorieta Christian Writers Conf.) and I've listed your site as "an excellent resource
for writers" in my handouts...I always enjoy your newsletter!

I just love your website! The information is very accessible and reader-friendly...Thanks to your site, I will soon be
published for the first time...thanks so much...I can tell that you give so much of yourself to the site. I almost feel like
I know you, just from reading the things you've written. Keep up the great work and thanks again...
-- Diane Sonntag, Contributing author to Then Along Came An Angel
OMG...I love it! I haven't read an article like that in a very long time! I really got a feel of what you are trying to say here.
In fact, I'm printing it out...Now that's more like the "Dabbling Mum" I know and visit.
-- Audrey King
Keep up with the great job that you are doing!
-- Francine Milford, Herald-Tribune Reporter
I greatly enjoy reading The Dabbling Mum...I appreciate the variety of articles you provide on writing and parenting; both
topics about which I am passionate.
-- Holly
This is the first issue of DM Home Biz I've read and I've got to say, "WOW!" Each article had something I can apply to my business
and personal life...It's wonderful to find such encouragement and applicable guidance.
-- Debra Butterfield
Thanks for asking for questions. I really get a lot out of your newsletter.
-- Mindy Kitzel
Thanks so much. I have been wondering about this for quite some time when it hit me that you would be just the person to advise me.
-- Tricia Goss
I enjoy the fact that people, like me, are given a chance to ask a question and receive an answer. Parenting is hard and life,
along with raising children, does not come with a user's manual.
-- Romina
Thanks for asking for questions. I really get a lot out of your newsletter. Oh, and thank you for the fundraising link you sent me a couple weeks ago. I KNEW you were a great resource.
-- Mindy
I want you to know that I love your website and e-zines. The articles and recipes are great! You do a wonderful job!
-- Faye
I got my first newsletter this past week. I loved it. I really appreciated your sharing your struggles and testimony. It blessed me.
-- Donna J. Shepherd (that was 2 years, ago...she's now a columnist!)
Thank you for the free content I was able to receive―the excellent reviewing guide and writers resources list.
I'm used to nothing half the quality when I happen to get something 'free' with a subscription to a newsletter. In fact, it's so bad I
almost dread it. Yours was a refreshing change, true quality resources for a 'real writer' rather than piddly 'secrets' that usually
look more like the basest basics and common sense. I am enjoying reading the writing e-zine as it contains much very useful information.
-- Meridith
I want you to know I received your first issue of this e-zine. I found it refreshing and informative. I hesitated to
subscribe because I have more to read about writing than I have time to read! :-) But I am glad I did.
-- Sharon Gibson
The DM Writes newsletter is looking absolutely wonderful, Alyice. I hardly have time to read anything these days but I made time for
this, as its content is so good. You’re a star—keep up the good work.
-- Phyllis Ring
I really enjoyed the newsletter, Alyice! This is the first time I've gotten it (as I've just subscribed recently) and I have to say,
I find it much more helpful than 90% of the other writing newsletters out there.
-- Tiff
What a great [writing] newsletter. I'm thrilled to have found you!
-- Jessica, Glass Road PR
I have referred you to others because your honesty and your easy-to-navigate website is refreshing and pleasing. I find your articles
and Q&A spots suited for almost anyone.
-- Lea, Canada

-- Tanya Davis
