Story Impact Magazine Issue Two Is Here
Are you running toward something when you travel, or away from it?
That question drives every page of Issue Two of Story Impact Magazine — the Travel Issue — featuring eight travel essays set across Spain, London, Paris, New Zealand, Mexico, Canada, Italy, and Turkey, industry insights for working authors, author interviews, poetry, and essential reading. I'm especially proud that several contributors are part of the Indies United Publishing family, including Ana Manwaring, Juliette Lauber, Glenda Carroll, Sarah Lovett, and Ron Schultz.
The Industry Insights section delivers five sharp, actionable pieces covering graphic design, PR, foreign rights, communications, and SEO/AEO for authors.
The Feature section includes author interviews with Sarah Lovett and Ron Schultz — both Indies United authors — discussing their collaboration Metal Viper, and Ana Manwaring and Fernando León Torrens on Mortal Revenge, plus a standalone interview with our beloved RJ Eastwood — known to us as Bob Emery — who sadly passed away last month.
Two poems by Wilnona Marie and Lee Towles close the creative section, followed by an Essential Reading showcase.

A note for Indies United authors: every guest on the Story Impact Podcast receives a complimentary quarter-page ad in the magazine, and we offer the lowest ad rates in the industry starting at $25.
