The story behind The Erotic Review

1995 The Erotic Review is started as a quarterly A4 newsletter by Jamie Maclean (then with the title The Erotic Print Society Review - this is shortened in 1998) for the publishing house, the Erotic Print Society (EPS). Under Maclean’s editorship, the Review grows in size and goes from black and white to colour.

1997 feeling that the content and style of the magazine are now well established, Maclean hands over the editorship to Rowan Pelling, while still remaining involved as publisher.

2001 The Review is sold to Rowan and her business partner, Gavin Griffiths. At the time the circulation is nudging 30,000 with an impressively high subscription list.

2003 Rowan and Gavin sell the Review to Maxim publisher Felix Dennis.

2004 The Review is bought by Deric Botham of Sapphire Media. Rowan and editorial team depart.

2006 The Review is bought by Trojan Publishing Ltd, who sell it back to EPS in February 2007.
