For color pictures of Austin's old school money, up-and-coming debutantes, or trust fund kindergartners, see West Austin News. I suppose this is a bit harsh. WAN is a perfectly respectable paper, but its target demographic is not exactly all-inclusive of our broad and colorful Austin community. However, if you're in love with a Westlaker or can't remember who you were schmoozing at last Saturday evening's fundraising gala, you may find their smiling face among these pages. Likely worth a read.

The publisher employes meth addicts to do his accounting and bookkeeping so none of the advertisers are ever billed or pay their bills on time.

This publication is a joke and I wouldn't waste a dime of my money advertising with this rag!

They know the ins and outs of the community, and are very involved with community activities ... especially in promoting local businesses, and encouraging people to shop locally. The high caliber and integrity of this publication makes it one of the finest in Austin.

First, the positives. I applaud Austin for supporting print media that highlights the successes of our hometown heroines, and I applaud founder Melinda Maine Garvey for breaking ground in a competitive market. Austin Woman began in 2002. In less than five years they've established a circulation of over 25,000 with distribution at over 600 Austin hot spots. Nice. My other positive? They generally select pretty cool women to highlight. I was delighted with their recent feature on Natalie Maines, and they've been discerning (in a good way) with their broad range of picks. Unfortunately, the articles are not wholly impressive. The quality of the composition is mediocre and the writing style is plain ole vanilla. I often spot grammatical errors and run-on sentences (this isn't one, is it?) I suppose this is nit-picky, but I like Austin Woman. I worry that these minor issues lower their credibility within the community and present less-than-stellar essays on some of our most notable and notorious. I grab an issue of Austin Woman each month. Hopefully I'll pick it up one day and be blown away by the copy.

I am so sad to write this review because I sincerely looked up to Austin Woman as a true icon in…read morethe community. However after becoming their customer I have since changed my mind. I was sold on monthly advertising for thousands per month and became very excited to advertise in their magazine. Unfortunately, print ads just aren't what they used to be and my business saw a very small return on this. They trapped me into a year long contract, but did not produce results. Their bill collections practice was unethical and illegal. When I found myself in a position of paying thousands a month with literally little to no return on my investment I begged for a cancellation and payment plan, but they had no mercy. The husband of the owner harassed my employees without my permission and even engaged in yelling over the phone with threats of a lawsuit and refusal to work out a payment plan for my small business. I was not only horrified that he discussed my private billing matters illegally with employees without my permission to my front desk staff. I filed an official complaint and request to stop several times (to only discuss my billing matters wirh me). Nonetheless, they used this unlawful tactic as an attempt to collect a debt. I had to file an official complaint with the federal trade commission due to ongoing illegal harassment and illegal billing practices. I encourage anyone who has experienced illegal billing collection methods from this company to file an official report with the FTC to fight against humiliation and unethical bill collection practice. This company doesn't stand behind their sales claims and doesn't care about you or your small business.

I think it's a monthly magazine, with special editions for Spring Break. Their pullout Happy Hour Guide is very useful. They show a grid of all the local pubs and bars offering happy hours, what and when they are, and where they are. Somebody has put a lot of research into the bars to find out all this info, and saves the thrifty student a lot of time and money. Most of the bars are located in the local university's vicinity. Their pictures are all of local places, with local people looking beautiful and chugging beer, dancing and having fun. The advertisements in here are slick, full color ads. They're usually for local bars and beer brands. I tend to check out the ads, as they often announce concerts and festivals. I appreciate the column where they interview a random Millennial, and ask them questions to get a glimpse into the generation. Pokemon is mentioned most of the time. A lot of the columns are features like how Maxim Magazine works- top 3 lists, and most articles are shorter than this Yelp review. There's sometimes coupons in here for freebies from local restaurants aimed at students. I believe that currently, Study Breaks serves UT, UTSA, Texas State, and Texas Tech.
