Edição Histórica 261
This is our second issue at our new home, Editora Rickdan. We still have things to work on, but some parts of Speak Up have already been improved (like the new multimedia). We hope you have noticed that your favorite magazine is headed towards full strength. A bit like our cover story, where a young actress enacts an historical person, good old features should continue to please you – sometimes with a new look. Please help Speak Up to fulfill your expectations by giving feedback, criticism and suggestions. For that matter, a new e-mail was created for the editorial offices: Este endereço de email está sendo protegido de spambots. Você precisa do JavaScript ativado para vê-lo.. We remain at your disposal. In an era of wiki-thinking, your comments have taken on new importance and we hope the results will come out satisfactorily for everybody – maybe like they did for Leo and Kate (though this time with nobody drowning at the end). We expect smooth sailing, so help us God. And we look forward to hearing from you. Happy reading!
