Manisses

Fraser Lang and Betty Rawls Lang launched Manisses in the early 1980s "to have a business we could run from our home." But it rapidly outgrew out·grew

“Providence” redirects here. For other uses, see Providence (disambiguation).
Providence is the capital and the most populous city of the U.S.
, and became associated with Brown University, also in Providence.

Brown's psychology department, one of the oldest in the country, has a long tradition of training graduate students for careers as researchers and teachers in experimental psychology.

The Brown Medical School has affiliations with a number of regional hospitals and has been known over its 30-year history for introducing innovations in medical education.

(Note: The name Manisses comes from an Indian tribe INDIAN TRIBE. A separate and distinct community or body of the aboriginal Indian race of men found in the United States.

 and eight publications later, Fraser told NL/NL in 2002, "It does seem that years ago you could open an industry directory, get names, send mail, and get orders. Not today. It's continually more difficult to get new subscriptions, and since 9/11 the problem has become worse. We used to rely a good deal on forced free trials, but we've pretty much stopped those" (NL/NL 10/31/02).

One of the Langs' solutions to declining direct mail response was to move into magazine publishing and advertising sales. Those titles--Behavioral Healthcare Tomorrow and Addiction Professional--were not part of the Wiley sale.

Fraser Lang told us, "The newsletter business has been very good to Betty and me. We will miss it. We will miss all the good people in the newsletter industry."

He concluded, "I anticipate that we may have an announcement about the magazines in about a month."
