PROSPERO?
Jan 3rd, 2025, 8:50pm
 
I have often been asked to submit Obituaries over the years. A Costume Designer died in September, I submitted the Obituary in October to be told the next edition will be in APRIL? Two editions a year? What's going on there?

Very good question, Maggie. I have certainly not heard anything about that development.

It was announced about 6 months ago that Prospero would only be published twice a year, see here:

Another cost cutting policy?

Many thanks for this information, I had no idea. The irony is that those who most welcome PROSPERO are of a certain generation who do not cope well with "online".

Apart from which I get a nice warming feeling of still being connected to my former employer when Prospero arrives through the letterbox. I would happily pay a (small) subscription for 12 editions a year.

Like David, I would be happy to pay for a more frequent publication of Prospero.

Same here.  I wonder if anyone from Prospero reads this forum?
