Editor’s Note It’s that time of the year when community of authors and publishing professionals get down to business at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. It’s a great opportunity to meet new contacts, share, exchange and inspire ideas, and delight in the innovative trends of the industry. Since it’s our first time to join the two-day event, we decided we might as well go big. We start off with Jeanne Enstad, author of A Journey of Hope to Heaven and Back, as she reflects on the essence of being human and why it’s important to lean on the “bigger” being. Do you know anyone who has a learning disability? If so, you’ll know what it’s like to see things differently and why it’s important to understand all kinds of learners. Author and illustrator Janice Tingley talks about her personal experiences and tells us why we should always remain vigilant in helping those who need it in the article, “Of Dreams and Monsters: Author and Illustrator Janice Tingley’s Different Way of Seeing the Bigger Picture.” Because we mean it when we said big, we are introducing two new sections on this issue. We’ve been sending out invites to writers, illustrators, photographers, poets, essayists and overall genius creators to find out if they’d be interested to join this little project that we started last year. We couldn’t be happier with the turnout! We received loads of contributions from renowned talents. For this kickoff, we’re featuring the works of Scott Valentine, Ted Torgersen, and Jonathan Snooks a.k.a. Ivor Kovac. Expect more to come on our upcoming issues. We’re also adding interviews to our lineup where we ask the questions every writer should have the answers to before fully committing to the life of a creative. Listen in to our conversations with Dr. William Steiner, Michael Amram, Frank Hull, and Raju Ramanathan. Taking a leap of faith are authors Luisa Plancher, Sylvia Stern, and Marlene Burling as they talk about what feels most truthful to them. We’re also introducing hot-off-the-press books from authors Scott Lee Mosure, Lydia Greico, Dr. Ron Huber, Richard Spegal, Cheryl Batavia, and Charles McCandless. And lastly, great places and eats to go and try on our lifestyle article “Going around Los Angeles.” You might want to check them out. Who knows? The places you’ll be visiting and the experiences you’ll be having with your family or loved ones could inspire your next book. We all love stories that resonate with our own, especially those that bring us to greater heights in mood and in thought. We hope you’ll enjoy reading this issue as much as we enjoyed piecing it together. Have a fun-filled weekend!
