Show A Green Sheet Publication IB Publication Is Geared To Women THE GREEN SHEET Thursday, September 25, 1986 - 'Labor Pains' Preceded Birth Of New Magazine editions later, she and by Helen Glissmeyer Green Sheet Staff Writer Marsha MILLCREEK. A woman can experience nothing as exciting as the birth of a baby-unl- ess its the birth of a magazine. This is the sentiment of Darla Hanks, 4623 Namba, managing editor of Latter-da- y Woman magazine. Her new edition came into the world this spring as a colorful Newman and Arlene Bascom feel they are overcoming some of the obstacles. They have a new determination to continue and a strong foundation to build on. We have created our magazine to provide an opportunity for women to share their lives and help them over- the first copy in her hands she had an elation that was come discouragement and feelings of isolation. We will face the real issues of our lives with courage, faith and practical solution. Mrs. Hanks says. ly awesome. the magazine didnt come without labor pains. Now a few months and two more She believes what women need is not so much new ideas, but comfort to feel good about themselves. That has become the base for their three-ounc- 8x5-inc- e, When she held h delight. incredible-absolute- But publication. She and her hope to prove that when women have problems, often their own expec-tatin- s are at fault. The idea of creating this unique almost magazine ascame of the a simultaneously meeting minds. It seems that the cofounders all were thinking in the same direction. Mrs. Hanks, after making a tape for Covenant Recordings on How to Slay Your Dragons of Discouragement wondered if some continuous support could be given women in the form of a periodical. A friend, Patricia Potts, now on the magazines board of directors, also had entertained the same notion, as did Mrs. Bascom. It was a surpris- - 'We hope reading our magazine will be like sittingdown and talking with a dear friend.' Darla Hanks ing coincidence. Shortly after that, deciding to shoot for their target, they were fortunate" to find Gene and Marsha Newman, who owned Wellspring Publishing. The Newmans were enthusiastic because the concept was similar to one they had considered. Gene Newman made it possible for our project to fly because of his knowledge and equipment." Mrs. Hanks noted. His association with LDS book stores made it possible to place the magazine in more than 200 outlets. Mrs. Hanks claims the initial edition w$s the best selling item at Deseret Book during April and May. The three editors have diversity in talent. Mrs. Hanks has responsibility for all the articles. Her background includes a degree from the College of Family Life at Utah State University. She has had experience teaching in LDS education weeks, womens conferences, and at the BYU Salt Lake Center. She and Mrs. Bascom, who is her sister, are of the book To Parents, With Love, plus a former Parent Panewspaper column, tter. Mrs. Hanks is the mother of five sons. Mrs. Bascom, regular features editor has charge of household hints, organizational tips and fillers. She has published articles in several womens magazines, has spoken at BYU Education week and is cofounder of Caring Connection, a womens support group. She has seven children and five grandchildren. Marsha Newman, poetry and fiction editor, is the author of two books of poetry: She Shall Be Called Woman and Reflections of Eve and her Daughters. She has written verses for a complete line of LDS The greeting cards. Her novel, Lightning and the Storm, was published this year just three weeks after the first issue of Latter-Da- y Woman was off the press. She has seven children. All three discuss everything that in the magazine. If there is any disagreement, they seek unbiased opinions from other women. They try to obtain a balance of humor, fiction, poetry, features and personal appears narrative. There is a great difference in what were doing and what is available elsewhere, says Mrs. We hope reading our Hanks. magazine will be like sitting down and talking with a dear friend. The overwhelming response from readers about the first issues has been like a dream come true, she adds. The things we are hearing are exactly what our goals have been. We feel we have actually met needs. From one reader comes: There is so much heart and spirit. Another writes: We badly need this type of encouragement and uplift, along with actual skills and how-tthat we can do something about. While desiring to help others cope with diversities, Mrs. Hanks has been described by her associates as "one who is a master on how to o cope. Her husband Lynn was seriously injured a few years ago when the plane he was piloting crashed. He was unable to continue in aviation and now, after a long recuperation, is attending technical college in route to a new career. Mrs. Hanks and her assistants have learned a great deal. Most of all they have found the importance of advertisers in a publication. Our advertisers had to take the leap of faith to buy ads before they had any proof of the magazines success, say the editors. Now that subscriptions are increasing, advertisers are more easily obtained. As the new magazine grows, the editors hope it will be like an arm around the shoulder telling women: Hey, youre going to make it. They are sure the magazine is going to make it, too. After all, isnt the first year of an infant's life the hardest?
