By Doyne Phillips, Managing Editor for Southern Writers Magazine
As of the Jan/Feb 2017 issue 1,032 are the
number of Authors we have promoted in Southern Writers Magazine since we began
in 2011. You may be one of the 1,032 and if so you are in good company. Many of
our authors have done well. Many have been recognized for their abilities with
acknowledgements from their peers, publishers and institutions.
While watching the Golden Globes on Jan 8th,
2017 I noticed one of our 1,032 authors in the crowd of celebrities. Later I
found that he was also a nominee in the Best Actor in a Drama category for Captain
Fantastic! Yes, there sat Viggo Mortensen, the poet. Mortensen graced our Issue
#6 in 2012. The article was titled On the Poet’s Road and was written by Sherry
Perkins as a fantastic insight to the actors handling of rejection. I offered a
Suite T post on this in May 2012 you can read. Better yet you can order a back copy of issue #6 and read the magazine article on Viggo Mortensen. It will be well
worth your time.
The important thing to note about
Mortensen and the other 1,031 authors is they all have shared with us what
their thoughts are on writing and the way they have found to be the best for
them to do so. In business it is said the “Sin of the Desert” is to know where
the water is and not share it. These authors know where the water is and they
are more than willing to share that with each of us that want to know. You can
only imagine how invaluable the knowledge shared by these thousand plus authors
can be to the new, the published or the established author.
If you haven’t had an opportunity to gain
some of this knowledge you can begin today. Don’t let another issue go out
without your name on it.
Also read our blog site Suite T every day. It too has
a lot to offer from our authors. Become knowledgeable and once you do you too
can share with others where the water is. Go to our Home Page and click on

Who knows, we may even see you at the Globes!
