Not that long ago, getting published was the big hurdle for a writer to overcome. You could produce all you wanted, but unless you knew how to get somebody to read your random submission, or you were rich enough to self-publish, your writing lived in a drawer, waiting for you to give it to a friend who doesn’t want to read it.

By Melody Smith|September 5th, 20142014-09-04T21:26:36-04:00
Russia invading the Ukraine, Israel’s assault on occupied Gaza, extreme weather flare-ups, airplane catastrophes—these are just some of the geopolitical and natural events that threaten the stability of the world system.

Hello Who?
By Melody Smith|September 2nd, 20142014-09-01T17:42:22-04:00
The news that rocked the world this past week was not one from the Russia and Ukraine battlefields, nor was it from the promised peace agreement in the much needed Gaza occupation and conflict. It was in fact, the realization that a brand that has been around for over 40 years has been misrepresented and misunderstood by generations.
