There was some talk about linking Raleigh Review up with a local state university after our first issue was released. Instead of linking up with a Uni we rolled our organization off campus to a loft in the Five Points antique district of Raleigh. Our rent was affordable at that time, so we rolled with it for two years and had a blast serving the community at the height of the great recession. A number of characters, and some pretty odd propositions, came through our doors. When I heard rumors that our landlady said we were dealing in more than just magazines, books, and events, I immediately sent her our notice, and we swiftly ended that rental agreement with the full support of our Board of Directors.

We'd signed on to another much larger space that was in need of a lot of work and repairs. We took to it to get the space ready as we had Marie Howe flying in a few weeks later. That was quite an event and the community came out in droves for that free reading.

Shortly after three years of successful events, my preemie twins arrived three months early and that is the reason we changed gears, moving away from in-person events to focus entirely on the magazine. Things got tough at that point and there were many times we could have compromised our ethics, but still, we dug in, and we went virtual in 2014 before it was fashionable. We kept pushing forward to keep producing issue after issue for fifteen years now in all the right ways.

Our team, past and present, have been the very best friends and they have made my role as publisher to be so much fun and enjoyable. It is a lot of work that we all share. Some of our team members broke my heart when they had to depart our beloved magazine. Many have left due to expanding families, for the amazing miracle of life, and I must say, if I were not right here in Raleigh, I likely would have bailed as well when my twins were born way early. The team did allow me to take off nine months during that time, and I am very grateful to our team.

No one really can compete when it comes to those precious little ones.

And that brings me to our amazing Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Landon Houle, who has her priorities in order. We wish her and her family the very best in this joyous time as their family expands to include Little Baby Girl Houle! As with all who have to take a break for various reasons such as parenting (writers, artists, and poets do make the very best parents by the way) all are welcome to return whenever they wish. Our door is always open to those who put their families first.

We, with Raleigh Review, have done so well for much of the fifteen years without a physical space. That said, resilience, hard work, and know-how have helped us gain enough momentum to begin looking once again for a home for our Raleigh Review, and we are looking forward to making this happen.

I likely over-worry at times on what could happen with Raleigh Review after reaching a time when I can no longer run it and that is really none of my business. Answers to these questions are with our Board of Directors and our Team. I mean, as much as I take care in my role with the organization, Raleigh Review is not my only baby. When it comes down to it, this magazine belongs to everyone. That's one reason we went with the 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, to make this entity that is its own being. Raleigh Review is way bigger than any one individual.

Raleigh Review is now fifteen years old as of the 21st of February 2025, and Raleigh Review is not going anywhere anytime soon but we're weighing all of what could happen with the magazine when the current team can no longer continue. The important thing that we must remember is not to try to force anything. We must allow whatever will happen to happen organically without any undue pressure from any individual-including me, the founder.

Derecho al desistimiento

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
