This isn't specifically about VCBC, nor is it a comment on Julie's article. But for small-time magazines like these, one of the most difficult things is to get enough quality ariticles. Many readers assume that piles of articles are sent in, but that's not the case. Few people take the time to write good articles for these magazines, so there's no way one of these magazines could become a monthly.

Any long time editor/publishers of these magazines would tell you this is the situation.

As far as Julie's situation goes, whether or not the article is acceptable, the publisher not communicating well with the writers like this is unprofessional and sign of a poorly run organization ... If the publisher acts this way towards people who put in the time and effort to write an article, it loses any right to complain that it doesn't get enough articles to publish a monthly.
