The Publisher’s Perspective: July 2023

Welcome to the July issue of LKN Magazine! We are delighted to present another edition brimming with captivating content. Our aim is to provide you with an enchanting escape and ample inspiration for the summer months ahead.

In this issue, we’re thrilled to share the experience of attending our first Indian wedding with you. As depicted in the stunning pictures, my daughter and I were privileged to witness the union of two families, two traditions, and two cultures. Congratulations to Morgan and Deep Patel! The memories we made over that unforgettable weekend will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Stay tuned for an in-depth feature on this remarkable wedding in an upcoming fall wedding issue!

We’re excited to feature Jasmine of Brighter Smiles of Davidson on our cover this month! Just look at her radiance! Turn to page 28 to discover more about Jasmine’s business and how you can achieve professional teeth whitening from the comfort of your own home.

Allow me to share a few highlights from this issue:

We have Carrie Allen, our exceptional lead photographer, who has recently opened a studio in Charlotte. If you’ve been putting off updating your headshots, now is the perfect time! Learn all about The Daylight Room on page 22.

Next up, we have Ray Singleton. I had the pleasure of hearing Ray speak at a recent event and was instantly captivated by his story. You won’t want to miss it on page 34.

Finally, we are thrilled to introduce you to our new friends, Matt and Kristen, the owners of Tempo Golf Club located in Huntersville. If you or your spouse are avid golf enthusiasts, their story on page 20 is a must-read article.

Hello! My name is Keela Johnson and I’m the founder of Forsyth Magazines, a family of three publications based in Forsyth County that started in 2005. After living in Clemmons for 30 years, I “retired” to Lake Norman and found a vibrant, active community of friendly people, as well as new hobbies like paddle boarding and gardening. However, with publishing in my blood, my heart and mind recognized a wonderful opportunity to further engage with this dynamic community and the members of my Lake Norman “neighborhood.” So… I am thrilled to announce that our team is launching a fourth publication: LKN Magazine!

An opportunity to promote local! When my husband and I made the move to Lake Norman, I passed the torch for the Forsyth County-based magazines into the very capable hands of my daughter Brooke. I’ve been considering the right time to launch a Lake Norman-based magazine, and I firmly believe that time is now! With 19 years of publishing experience, our team has helped hundreds of businesses share their stories and connect with our 70,000 readers. We believe in the power of community and building a platform for local businesses to grow in an organic and powerful way. We’re so excited to bring this same concept to the Lake Norman market.
What does this look like? Take a look at forsythwoman.com to see some of our content and flip through our digital edition. You can also check out @forsythmags on Instagram and Facebook, and find the Forsyth Magazines podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and all major streaming platforms.
What does LKN Magazine offer? Print ads, of course, and online exposure as well, but in addition to that, we offer so much more to help you tell your story to your target market. Editorial, social media promotion, a monthly newsletter, a podcast, and event sponsorship opportunities are all perks available for our advertising partners. I’d love to set up a time to chat with you over the phone or meet in person to discuss.
