Your letters to Spotlight and upcoming topics

Dear Ms Sharp

I have been reading Spotlight for many years and I am happy every month when a new issue arrives. However, I always wonder why you still send it wrapped in plastic. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful idea to change this in the new year? According to the motto “avoid plastic”! Yours

Dear Ms Schober

Thank you for your question. Here is some feedback from our sales department:

“Bis vor einigen Monaten haben wir alle unsere Hefte in einer recyclingf­ähigen Folienverp­ackung als Schutz für die Hefte verschickt. Aufgrund vieler Kundenrekl­amationen und des starken Mediendruc­ks zum Thema Verpackung­smüll hat der Spotlight Verlag im Frühsommer entschiede­n, jegliche Art von Verpackung­smüll – auch in Form von Papier und Kartonagen – möglichst zu vermeiden.

Sofern die Kundin zu ihrem Magazin nicht noch weitere verlagseig­ene Zusatzprod­ukte, wie eine Audio-cd, eine Lehrerbeil­age, ein

Booklet oder das Übungsheft Plus mitgeliefe­rt bekommt, erfolgt die Adressieru­ng immer direkt auf dem Magazin ohne Folienverp­ackung. Nur bei Versänden mit den Zusatzprod­ukten können wir leider auf die Verpackung nicht verzichten, da sonst die Sendung nicht vollständi­g beim Kunden ankommt. Wir verwenden aber in jedem Fall (wie auch schon früher) eine recyclingf­ähige Folienverp­ackung.”

I hope this helps explain why we are still using some plastic. Kind regards

Inez Sharp, editor-in-chief

Dear Ms Sharp and Ms Kuenzel

I have enjoyed reading Spotlight magazine for many years and Ms Kuenzel’s article in issue 1/20 regarding her experience with self-publishing aroused my interest more than ever; I felt as if I were sharing this event with her, because I myself had the same experience, also last year and also at Amazon. I understand so much her feeling of excitement of holding the first copy in her hands.

Reading Ms Kuenzel’s article, I was happy to find out that somebody I knew (if only from reading Spotlight) had done the same as me: figured out all details for her book and uploaded it on the internet. Thank you! Best regards
