L ETTER FROM THE EDITOR
January is the month for a new beginning. We’ve wrapped
up the old year and we start fresh. There is a special feeling
in knowing you have a fresh page to begin your new year.
We look with anticipation as to how our new year will
play out. What opportunities will we encounter? As I’ve
said before even the first day of the year has a special
name, it is called “New Year’s Day”.
And so, it is for authors who are writing a new book, it opens
up new possibilities.
Our lives are like an adventure. Full of wonder and awe
strewn with unknown paths.
We are blessed to have all of you part of our family and we wish you a successful 2019.
The year 2018 for us was a tremendous year of growth and changes; meeting more
authors; agents and publishers.
We are fortunate our adventure takes us into the lives of people every day who love to
write and we have the honor of showcasing their talents and skills and introducing them
to our readers.
Southern Writers Magazine is committed to opening doors for readers to know more
about the authors and their stories and to meet new authors. After all, it is in meeting
and getting to know the authors you read that their books come to life.
We are committed to find more ways to promote and showcase authors and their books.
A special thank you goes to all the authors who have graciously availed themselves for
interviews; for contributing articles and to our own writers and proofers.
With our January/February issue we would like to wish each one of you a safe,
prosperous and Happy New Year.
Thank you for making us a special magazine.
Happy Writing!
