The GBF Gazette

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 17:34:10 -0500

The Greater Buelahland Fellowship (GBF) has an awesome new newsletter, the GBF Gazette (http://www.thegbfgazette.info/). It features articles and information relevant to the GBF. I recently sat down with the editor of the GBF gazette, Amy Fairview and talked to her. MaClandon: Hello. How are you? Amy: Hey. I�m good. How are you? MaClandon: I�m good. When did you begin writing? Amy: I have been writing every since I can remember. I think I wrote my first poem at age 7. It was a poem for Easter. MaClandon: That�s cool. When did you get into doing newsletters? Amy: When I was in college. I was the editor of the dorm newsletter. It was fun, so I worked as a reporter for a couple of other newsletters. Then I became editor of those two newsletters. That�s how I got into editing. MaClandon: So, how did the GBF Gazette come about? Amy: I was asked to take over the mailing list for the GBF. I tried to do that for a minute, but I began to see that the mailing list was limited in its reach. Since I had worked with newsletters before, I felt that a newsletter would be better. I talked to some the leaders of the GBF South (http://www.gbf-so.info/) about it. They encouraged me to talk to Bishop Adkins. I did and the newsletter was birth. MaClandon: That�s cool. How did it grow to what it is now? Amy: At first, it was a website that I was trying to publish through web posting. That was becoming too tedious. I had made it harder than it needed to be. I knew that there was software out there that could make life easy. I wanted the newsletter to have its own domain. That was going to take money. I didn�t particularly have a budget, so I didn�t know how that was going to come about. I went and talked to my leaders again. They said they would talk to the powers that be. I prayed and had my friends pray. The word came back and I was given the go ahead to get the domain and began publishing the newsletter. It was awesome. MaClandon: What kind of things can we see on the newsletter? Amy: There are articles and Special Features. These are written by the members of the GBF. They are on a number of topics that range from the spiritual to the natural. There are monthly Bible verses. I did this because it gives the readers a chance to learn a new Bible verse each month, if they choose to do so. There are writings about the ministries of the GBF. This is done so that the readers can find out more about the ministry. There is a monthly word from my regional leader, Pastor Patrick Miller, III. This is done to encourage our readers. We post the monthly events for the GBF. Also, the yearly Word from our Leaders can be found on the newsletter. Lastly, we have a section called Family First. This section contains articles about the family. I am sure we will add more as the newsletter grows. MaClandon: Do you write all of the articles? Amy: (Laughs). Naw. I can�t do it by myself. I have an awesome team of writers. You can see the list here� http://www.thegbfgazette.info/index.php?itemid=63&catid=1#more. They are very excited about writing for the GBF Gazette. They do awesome work. MaClandon: If someone wants to write an article for the newsletter, what do they need to do? Amy: They can email me @ amy.fairview@gmail.com to let me know that they want to write an article. MaClandon: Are there any requirements to write an article? Amy: Yes. You have to be an active member of a GBF church. That is the most important requirement. I do check references. Also, you must be able to write in a professional manner as well as be able to take criticism. Some people get upset when you tell them things about their writing. MaClandon: I get that. We can�t just present anything to the GBF readers. Amy: You are so right. Ultimately, I am responsible for what gets posted to the GBF Gazette. So, it�s on me to put the best out there for our readers. MaClandon: What can the readers do if they want to see an article on a specific subject? Amy: They can email me @ amy.fairview@gmail.com to let me know the topic and I will see what I can do for them. MaClandon: How often do you update the newsletter? Amy: I updated it once a month unless it is an article related to a particular date or week. I find that it is easier to update once a month, since many of our writers have full time jobs. MaClandon: What do you want the readers to get from the newsletter? Amy: I want them to be blessed by the material, learn from the articles, and be excited about what God is doing through us and the GBF. MaClandon: Give us the website address one more time. Amy: www.thegbfgazette.info MaClandon: Any last words? Amy: Yes, be sure to go check out the GBF Gazette. It is sure to bless you. MaClandon: Yea, be sure to check it out. Thanks for the interview, Amy. May God continue to bless you and your endeavors. Amy: You're welcomed. May God bless you as well.
