John was terrific to work with, same with Taylor and Jennifer. The whole process was made very easy and fluid. We greatly appreciate the opportunity!
They did a fantastic job with our article. We are very grateful for the depth and space given to our program. The staff was very responsive good to work with. We highly recommend them for future interested parties.
Sia, thank you for your thoughtful and kind words. It was a true pleasure to work with you, and we’re so glad the article fully captured the spirit of your program. Your recommendation means a lot to us.
I love reading our community magazine and learning more about my neighbors. Even when life gets busy, the magazine helps me stay connected to what's going on nearby.
I like reading about local businesses, but I especially look forward to articles with ideas for things I can do on my own or with friends and family.
I appreciate the seasonal tips, like new recipes to try, places to visit, or simple ways to take care of myself.
Thank you so much, Linda! It’s wonderful to hear the magazine helps you stay connected and inspires your days, whether solo or with loved ones. We’re excited to keep bringing you ideas that brighten your community experience season after season!
We were at thrilled to have our son featured in the Above and Beyond section. The communication and support from Susan made the experience that much more enjoyable!
Christine, we are truly grateful for your kind words and delighted to hear that Susan's support made your experience so enjoyable. It was an honor to help celebrate your son in the Above and Beyond section. Thank you for choosing to share this journey with us!
Well written article. Shannon answered any questions or concerns i had. I was amazed how Shannon could take my questionare and turn it into such a great article.
Tom, thank you so much for the kind words and trust you placed in us. We're thrilled Shannon could help bring your questionnaire to life in such a meaningful way. It was a pleasure collaborating with you! 🙌
My experience with Tsawwassen Living team was incredibly positive from start to finish. Authenticity is very important to me, and I truly felt that they honor and maintain that in the way they share stories. The process was thoughtful and well-organized.
What stood out most was their genuine intention to highlight people's journey and create a sense of connection within the community. It wasn't just about publishing a story—it felt like being part of something purposeful and inspiring. I'm grateful for the opportunity and the way they bring local stories to life.
We're truly honored that you trusted us with your story, Mehj! We're so glad the experience was organized and genuine–that is exactly what we strive for every time we feature a local family or resident. We are grateful for your support!
This was a tough interview for me, even though it was nearly 2 years since my husband's death. Many neighbors, friends and acquaintances approached me after receiving the magazine saying what a great article it was. Carole did a fabulous job with the story. She was also very empathetic hearing it.
I hope the story educated my neighbors and community about the horrors of ALS, while also communicating that it takes a village to help a neighbor in need. I was very fortunate.
One recommendation would be for the photographer not to shoot with the sun in the subjects eyes. Many people told me it was a terrible photo of me. Not a big deal to me…I am who I am. Just food for thought.
Rennae, thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection and for trusting us with your story. We’re truly grateful for Carole’s compassion and for the conversation your article sparked, which brought your community closer together. We appreciate awareness about the photo lighting and will prioritize gentler shots going forward to respect everyone featured.
Working with Donnell-Marie Austin at Winterville Neighbors was a true professional experience. She clearly understands what it takes to create a polished, effective advertising piece. In a world where too many are rushing just to close a sale, this was a refreshing change.
Her caring and compassionate demeanor came through in every step of the process, and it was evident in how she represented Best Version Media (BVM). If you're looking for a thoughtful, high-quality approach to community outreach, I highly recommend BVM.
Rich, we truly appreciate your kind words! Our local Publishers are passionate about serving their communities, and it means a lot to know that came through in your experience with us. Thank you so much for your recommendation—we’re grateful for your support!
It was a fun experience however there wasn't as much interaction as I thought there would be. I was anticipating having to name and highlight more RVC businesses and promote them. Was hoping to feel more of a sense of community.
Thank you for your feedback! We will take this into consideration as we improve the experience for local residents.
I had a wonderful experience! Both Kathryn Lekas and Jo Callingham listened to my story and captured the essence of my career and art practice with professional flair.
Thanks, Dori! We're so glad you enjoyed being featured and had a great experience with our local team.
Was a great community experience. Lots of friends reached out with congratulations.
Thank you, Paul! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience brought together such a wonderful wave of support from your community. Celebrating moments like yours is truly what makes our work fulfilling.
The team was great to work with, and well presented. The only thing I would like to see improved is that we have to order 20 copies, at $3 each, in order to have a copy of our article. If you are featuring someone, they should at least be given 1 copy. We searched all over to find one, and didn't.
Thank you for the review, Wayne! While extra copies can be ordered, we aim to provide our feature families with at least one copy at no expense. We sincerely apologize that this wasn't the case for you, and we will review our processes to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Although I'm not one for posing for photos, they turned out well.
We didn't receive additional copies which is a little unfortunate. I am grateful they shared my story about being judged, stigmatized, misunderstood and "erased" by neighbors in my community for my mental health.
Joseph, it was an honor to share your story with the community. We truly apologize that you didn't receive a copy. We always try to make sure our featured residents receive a few copies as a keepsake. If you haven't done so, please feel free to connect with the local writer or the magazine's Publisher; they may have additional copies available. Thank you for your participation!
Feeling incredibly grateful to be featured in Kempsville Living Magazine!
The amount of love from this community has been overwhelming—in the best way. Calls, texts, emails, DMs… y'all showed up.
And apparently the biggest takeaway?
👉 "When did Branson get so big?!" (Same question over here 😅)
One message even called me the new mayor of Kempsville… I don't know about that, but I'll gladly keep showing up and serving this community the best way I know how.
Thank you all for the support, the kind words, and for making Kempsville feel like home—because it truly is.
Tammy, thank you so much for sharing your experience. It warms our hearts to see how the community has embraced you! Thank you for taking the time to be featured!
We loved having the opportunity to be featured in our local magazine and working with everyone from BVM was great. From fabulous photos thanks to Sarah Robar, a fun write up by Connie and learning about a small world connection with publisher Aaron, we highly recommend participating and sharing your story!
Thank you, Rebecca! It’s very rewarding to hear that the photos, write-up, and connections our team created made a lasting impression. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to helping tell more great stories like yours.
