SUMMARY:Sunday Focus October
DESCRIPTION:Dee Collins – Editor of focus magazine says:\nAs the editor of focus magazine\, I’ve received hundreds of press releases\, requests for me to interview people\, feature a product\, run an article\, etc. The majority of these I ignore or send a quick ‘thanks\, but no thanks’ response.
