DITOR’S OTE Read Up! The other day, I asked one of our authors to tell me her favorite things to read. Her answer: “I particularly enjoy reading the number of books I’ve sold at the end of the month. Personal emails start my day and I take more time in them when they come from my loves. Memes and GIFs they get me all the time. I read newspapers because I absolutely have to. Books that I’ve kept and re-read over the years, they’re the books that leave me in this constant state of wonderment. Books that I can never seem to figure out, they’re that good. And Atwood, when I need a touchstone for writing.” Does your list reflect the same desire for tradition and discovery, amusement and enrichment? I know mine does. For Authorial Magazine, our maiden issue, we aimed that high. Starting with the name—author. It broadcasts our commitment to our core inspiration in doing what we do and emphasize whom we put first. Next, our sections. Cover Story, Fresh Meet, Featured Works, and By the Book, are a tidy collection of uplifting true stories, family-friendly humor, and surprising, and useful information. We pride ourselves as creators. In most days, we are avid finders, filtering the endless amount of material available to all of us, all the time. We hope they reflect this and engage you by appearing entertaining, timeless, and collectible. The power of humanity and the extraordinary accomplishments of ordinary people—there’s more of that inside. We spoke to Luisa Plancher, author of The Strength of a Nation, for our cover story section. Allow her to take you into her headspace and reveal her true inspiration in everything that she does. Our featured works section starts off with poet Forrest Ingram, author of Love’s Liturgy, where he tells us all about his enduring love for his muse and shares a few excerpts from his book. Next is Harding Hedgpeth, also known as Brent, a pilot and a renegade when it comes to interpreting salvation. We close it off with Sylvia Stern, author of Walking Through Poetry, who touchingly shares the ups and downs of her publishing journey and the persistence of a dream. We’re also excited for you to get to know authors in our Fresh Meet section which features James Sinclair, highly regarded pathologist who shares his struggles with sexuality in a time of intolerance. We know Jeanne Enstad, author of A Journey of Hope to Heaven and Back, will steal your heart as she shares her experience in taking a trip to heaven, not once but twice. Marlene Burling, will walk you through her daily conversations in her sunroom with the son that matters the most. By the Book section includes quick viewing of brave works that tackle both controversial and emotionally charged topics from authors George Worthington, Kramer Elkman, and Lydia Greico. And lastly, we’ve included snippets of our short conversation with prolific author Sally Russell. We call it 5 Minutes with Author, but we never actually make it in five. We’re all grateful for Sally (not sow), with the biggest heart, for letting us extend the interview and nearly taking over her bedtime. Before we forget, this maiden issue will be up for grabs at the Texas Book Festival. Come and join us at our tent (115-116) and get a chance to meet our authors in person. We’ll throw in a couple of signed book copies while we’re at it. Can’t wait to meet you there and can’t wait for you to get to know and love our authors as much as we have grown to.
