~Interview with WOW magazine~

Publisher interview with WOW! Magazine

A heart to heart with the the Editor
In Chief of the glory filled Christian
women's magazine, WOW Magazine
Editor In Chief, Candie A. Price.

1. How did your publication come into existence?

I am the Director of the Women's Ministry at our
church . WOW!™ Magazine was born out of a
desire to provide a practical, biblical newsletter for
this ministry. However, WOW! soon evolved into a
vibrant, colorful and award winning online
magazine with approx. 1,000 subscribers and our
web statistics show readers in 23 countries!!!! We’
ve recently added a print version and are
expecting the same success as we have had with
the online version.

2. What is the main focus of your publication?

We have been mandated by God to Inspire,
Encourage and Empower™ Christian women
toward a closer walk with Jesus Christ! WOW!
Presents refreshing, inspirational and most of all,
biblically sound articles in an engaging and
authentic tone to speak to the needs of the whole,
modern Christian woman. WOW! understands
that Christian women have interests outside their
faith, although their faith is the cornerstone of
their existence. Because of this, readers can find
other features such as humor, financial advice,
fashion, Christian fiction and more! It is our goal
that our readers not only connect with the articles
that they read but that they would grow in spirit
and in truth. WOW! is a magazine that reads like
a conversation between friends. Friends laugh,
cry and embrace one another through good times
and bad - but always tell one another the truth!
WOW! is committed to providing content that is
biblically sound and practical. Our readers learn
how to systematically study scripture, how to
apply the Word in their lives, and how to grow in
the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

3. How long have you been in the publishing
industry?

WOW! will turn 3 years old in October.

4. Who are your readers?

Our readers are a diverse group of women at
various life stages and age groups, though our
primary age group is 24-65+. Our readers want to
read articles that they can relate to. They want to
read about real women and real issues and even
the issues that some may be unwilling to address in
today’s churches. Our readers want to be inspired,
encourage and empowered!

5. Do you have any special campaigns or events
coming up?

We have many special campaigns coming up. One
is our WOWderful Woman™campaign. We are
always looking for women whose lives mirror our
mission statement: Inspire, Encourage, Empower.
These women are role models in their communities,
churches, and homes and exemplify a true Woman
of the Word. WOWderful Women will be featured in
WOW! with a two page spread about their lives in
the magazine. Also, upcoming will be our FLRT™
campaign. FLRT™ stands for First Lady Real
Truth based off of my book, First Lady: The Real
Truth which will be released in October, 2007.
Every quarter, a first lady will be featured on the
front cover of WOW! Magazine. She must be doing
some WOWderful things for the kingdom and truly
exemplify an Inspiring, Encouraging, and
Empowering spirit to be featured. For more
information about these campaigns, contact us at
info@wowmagazine.org.

6. How do you stay centered on God in this
industry?

What keeps me centered is totally realizing that
nothing that I do or have accomplished has been
done in my own strength! I understand that God is
merely allowing me to do what I do in spite of
myself. With all of my frailties, shortcomings and
inadequacies, God still chooses to use me. For that
I am totally humbled and honored! To God be the
Glory!
