Inside This Issue
“All I ask is a tall ship and a star to sail her by.” ~ William Shakespeare
Welcome Back! It’s exciting to bring back Books ‘N Pieces Magazine after a lengthy hiatus. Why were we gone? The magazine started in 2017 and, after many changes of format, style, content and ways of reaching readers, and with the advent of—I hesitate to use that ‘pat’ answer— Covid—we decided a pause was needed. The publisher, William Gensburger, was concentrating on his novels, now released, and the time required to put out a quality publication was limited. The strength of Books ‘N Pieces Magazine lies in the variety of content geared for writers of all ranges, from professional to amateur, offering information that is both current, as well as useful. Some of the many writers we’ve interviewed show the caliber of content. Many bestsellers, many new authors, all offering their readers a value that can only be described by reading their work. In our issues we will feature short stories, poetry, art, photography, interviews, articles, tips, news, and even related topics like medical, food, health, fashion––everything related to writers, writing, readers and even general interest. We are advertising supported, allowing us to offer the magazine to read at no charge. If you are a business please consider advertising, sponsoring, or even distributing our magazine to your network of readers. Every reader counts. And please join our mailing list HERE. Enjoy this issue. Cheers!
