EDITOR’S LETTER
TPM
During this amazing journey, I have learned that as an editor, you are the main character of your magazine`s story. You have the brush and it is up to you to use the colors you think look best. Each moment that you spend building it, promoting it and making it successful, will represent your masterpiece. Each production that you create will embody you as an artist and a specific timeframe of your life. Each issue is like a different movie that you played in and they cannot all be the same. I also learned that as a Trend Prive Magazine editor, your interaction with the rest of the featured artists needs to be strong. They will support your masterpiece if they understand the goal and purpose behind it. The goal of this masterpiece is not ego driven; it is actually heart centered. It focuses on the love of art, a collection of stories, and creating a union between artists all around the world.
We only have three issues out, but boy, did I gain so much experience already! The beginning of Trend Prive Magazine was a bit difficult for me as an editor. I love all the artists featured in those premiere issues, but I ran into complications due to a plethora of problematic situations. After this experience and life lesson, I was motivated to stand up, dust off and only get better. On a good note, I have received some great feedback from other editors, publishers and bloggers about the debut books. Maybe my rough experience paid off. Maybe other artists could see the passion, purpose and hard-work behind it all. Maybe I should be thankful for this experience, because it made everything else seem so much more stress-free now. The Fall Issue was a lot of fun to do. Everything seemed easier once I found the right support and team. I tried focusing on useful articles, rather than on a great photographic exposition and I tried to create a magazine that a person can read more than once. The winter issue was done in 3 fun weeks. Before starting the winter issue, I sat in front of my computer and asked myself: “What would you like to create this time?” And my answer was indeed a Trend Prive Winter Issue that would inspire creativity and comfort for any and all readers!
As an editor, I have learned that your masterpiece becomes your life and you can change the course of your story by making new choices and choosing new paths. Don`t be afraid to drop the negative characters from your play, if they`re not willing to support your story. Fearlessly go with yourself and not against yourself, because once you agree to have people who are against you on your team, YOU will be the one holding yourself back. When you know that you`re creating artistically, you start living purposely. Being an editor, don`t be ashamed to create, to view yourself as an artist and to put more heart into your masterpiece, rather than being a passively living editor. For now, these are some of my thoughts and experiences. Perhaps, these would be my advices to even newer editors, hoping to inspire them in any way. I`m wishing everyone happy holidays and thank you for taking the time to read our winter issue.
God Bless, Catalina Magee Editor-in-Chief
