Summer 2015

It is with great pleasure, FreedomInk Publishing Presents Social Readia. Volume 1 Number 6: Summer 2015

 

 

The platform for the freebie online literary magazine is still a working template. It's ever evolving and may be so until we find what works for us around here. We tried monthly but soon discovered it's a big responsibility for the shoulders of one to carry. Then we missed a month and it looked like every other month might be the way to go... But what happens when that 2nd month is missed? How about seasons? I just might be able to handle that! Let's give it a try. Summer 2015 officially begins June 21st. With the onset of this new season, I challenge you to read!

Vol. 1. No. 4 February 2015

February 2015. Word of the month, 'busy'.  The goal? To stay focused, no matter what. FreedomInk Publishing released 'Teach Me', the 2nd urban erotic novel by author Phoenix. We began the publishing process via initial proofs after rigorous editing of yet another book, Mellie Miller's 2nd title penned in the Esperance Series. 'Viviane, First Lady' is fantasy fiction. It's futuristic, historical, paranormal. Prepare for the literary ride of a lifetime. Valentine's Day has come and gone. The night sky was a myriad of constellation beauty. Did you see Jupiter? Venus? Mars? Google featured a very cool, however lightyears away, image of the Heart Nebula (pictured here).

 



The Heart Nebula, IC 1805, Sh2-190, lies some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. This is an emission nebula showing glowing gas and darker dust lanes. The nebula is formed by plasma of ionized hydrogen and free electrons. {Wikipedia}

 

What else? I've been publishing and quilting up a storm... And reading too! I've decided that while it is very much possible, I'd prefer not to run 'Social Readia' all by my lonesome. I'm seeking regular contributors. The main source of compensation is exposure. I'd love to make you an official extension of #TeamFreedomInk .

 

February 2015 zoomed by, and in the blink of an eye and just 28 days, it was over. I do apologize for the missed issue. Let's see if I can make up for it with some awesome literary stuff, in this new month.

 

Happy reading,

Kat.

Celebrate With Me

Hi. I'm Katandra Jackson Nunnally. For those of you who know me, it comes as no surprise that by this point, publishing books comes to me as naturally as breathing. Magazines are a different breed of literary thing completely. It's a constant, ongoing, neverending thing. Like back to back to back book publications without a moment to breathe. And talk about the legwork. The research. Would it be a monthly magazine? Quarterly? Who will I gather content from and will they deliver on time before the reoccurring deadlines? I cringe every time I think of how this idea was almost scrapped. Just because one platform doesn't work out, doesn't mean one should give up. So here we are. The long awaited, much anticipated magazine is here. But instead of in print issues that come with a price tag, we've decided to publish this literary magazine online. Now of course every Editor In Chief wants to get paid. As the CEO of FreedomInk Publishing as well as an Author, I know that in order to write well, one must read often. It is a prerequisite to confidently hold this title! I read... A lot. I'll be etching out services and fees soon. Ad space. Book reviews. Media tools for Authors such as bookmarks, flyers & Creative Press Releases. But before we get into all of that technical monetary stuff, let's just celebrate. Let's have a party in honor of the written words we love so much. It is my mission to make this book thang' a social thang'. That is afterall, how the very idea of this literary magazine was born. I'm super proud to present, along with the Authors of FreedomInk Publishing... Social Readia, FreedomInk's Online Literary Magazine! Woot woot. Party over here. Please celebrate with us by following the blog. Share it. Leave a comment and let us know that you were here. Tell us... What is your favorite book? Who is your favorite Author? When was the last time you became totally engrossed with a character, plot or storyline? At current, the issues will post every month. The We're excited to begin and thrilled that you have decided to join us. Questions, concerns, submissions, photos can be sent to katandra@freedomink365.com  Again, thanks for joining us.

 

~Keep Reading,

Editor In Chief, CEO, Author, Katandra Jackson Nunnally
