'Will' by Gene Cuvier
Hello everyone!
Strong Truths has been on ‘hiatus’ for a while! It’s great to be back! Thank goodness to the publishing and the world of technology as it is due to the changes in these areas that have allowed me to revive Strong Truths. I apologize to all my contributors for such a long wait. But I thank you for your patience and belief in the project. I owe it to you guys to continue with Strong Truth[ [Publishing] and I believe Strong Truths is a much needed community!
I am looking for new contributors visual artists and those of the written loves of course. I am also looking to receive new work from current contributors as years and months have passed since and it’s time to update the collection!
With all new work I will create the first publication from Strong Truths! To answer the question of Strong Truths 18+.,yes it will be here shortly in addition to the revival of Strong Truths. I am working on blog and sister website as well. More updates will be coming I just wanted to say hello and get in contact with everyone as I revive the ST world! Hope to hear from you guys!
Why were we on hiatus?
Amount of contribution of work Firstly, although we had a large list of contributors we had only one or two contributors send in 10+ works (all written). Other contributors would contribute 2-5 or so. Which really minimized our sections (by author).
Employees Although we started out with one and move to three and then five, we went back down to three as employees working for free are hard to keep as it’s a whole lot of work and you must be dedicated to the arts and have true belief in the project. So editing took a long time and community building even longer.
Money! Lastly, the biggest obstacle was money, in order to produce a book you need money for an actual physical copy of the book, as well as money to promote the book, market and distribute and also have something to reward each contributor with.
What’s Gene working on?
I am working on updates, a new world for Strong Truths via website and blog. This blog is being transformed into our complete Strong Truths Community! It will most likely stay at this address. I will consider moving it onto the ST website server to integrate it within the website, however. I currently like it separate and I think the layout will work just fine for the community until it grows of course. I’m willing to hear your thoughts as always so comment below if you’d like.
