Reading InBetween The Lines

I asked Rachel Naud if she remembers our first meeting.


She does.


After she reminded me about it,  I felt all different shades of guilty.

RACHEL NAUD: What’s amazing is, she still talks to me.

Before I explain why, you have to know that Rachel is an editor and writer and publisher.


A few years back, she launched a magazine called INBETWEEN–it’s for parents of teenagers–and maybe because she assumed me to be a teeniebopper in an old man’s carcass–she asked me to contribute.


I did and do.


She built the business from nothing. It probably took  more all nighters, nail biters and sheer bullheadedness than I’ve ever committed to any journalistic project.

And this week, Rachel announced that INBETWEEN has been redesigned and relaunched, and man is it spiffy. The girl don’t give up.

There’s a link to the magazine below, but before you see for yourself, read this.

2001 Reasons to Read INBETWEEN

I asked for Rachel’s recollection of our first encounter. She had just graduated from journalism school; I was an editor at Chatelaine.

Rachel: “I spent money I didn’t have on one of those books that listed all the magazines and editors in Canada.  I can’t remember what it was called. (Seems so archaic now!).  Anyhow, I saw your name and called you.  And, you, to my delight and absolute terror, ANSWERED THE PHONE.
