About me:


I am SMITH magazine, an on-line (and soon-to-be print) magazine celebrating, documenting, encouraging, and facilitating the Personal Media Revolution. SMITH is about real people telling real stories in this gritty, funny, intense, amazing world. A new kind of magazine where the readers and editors work together to tell stories about all our lives. Everyone has a story. Everyone is a SMITH.

NDN

NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR is the third original Webcomic presented free on SMITH Magazine. “Everybody has one. And, no matter how close or how far, we all live next to someone, and we all have a Next-Door Neighbor story,” says NDN Editor Dean Haspiel. “With this in mind, I asked some of my favorite storytellers and cartoonists to create their favorite NDN stories so that we at SMITH Magazine could share them with you over the next year.” New installments of Next-Door Neighbor will appear every other Monday only on SMITH Magazine.

A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge

SMITH's follow-up to the successful SHOOTING WAR webcomic switches gears from future-fiction to non-fiction in A.D.: NEW ORLEANS AFTER THE DELUGE. When the levees broke, nothing was the same for New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. A.D. is about surviving Hurricane Katrina — and what happened next in the lives of a cross-section of Crescent City residents.



Click above to read SMITH Magazine's first featured original graphic novel, SHOOTING WAR, a near-future, media-obsessed story about a Brooklyn videoblogger who heads to still-war-torn Iraq (2011) after witnessing a terrorist attack on Williamsburg soil.

Got a story for SMITH? Or a photo essay? Or a a tale about something that happened to you on MySpace? Send it to info@smithmag.net.

Or check out our writers guides.

At SMITH we're interested in all sorts of personal stories, so don't feel bound by these categories. But these spots are good places to start:


Memoirville: Have a memoir you're working on, or just a personal story you want to share? Send it to us and we'll consider it for Memoirville, a spot where stories from the pros mix with unpublished memoirs in progress.


My Diary: These are reader-created journals about your life in transition (like Cree, who moved back to New Orleans or Ben who's converting from Judiasm to Greek-Orthodox), your wild job (like Mistress Y, the dominatrix trying to make an honest living in a painful world), or any other notion that you think others will want to read about. If you want to keep a diary, send us your idea and a writing sample and we'll be sure to get right back to you.


Brushes With Fame:.. What happens when a celebrity unexpectedly entered your sphere like an alien landing? We want to know (in 300 words or less). Maybe you met Sharon Stone in line to meet the Dalai Lama, ran into Jon Stewart at the dressing room of the Gap, or somehow have Mick Jaggers urine in your freezer. These things happen. If you've caught a celeb making out with someone he shouldn't have been or making an ass of himself at a pretentious bar, save it for Page 6 and Gawkerwere interested in an actual personal encounter, not gotchas.

My Ex: We've all got ex-lovers, partners, husbands, wives. Some we equate with beautiful moments of love. Others were train wrecks. What's your favorite ex story? Tell us in 1000 words. Tell us in just 50 words. But tell us (and you'll feel better, too). The best My Ex stories will be included in our forthcoming book.

Check out the mag. Then jump in -- the water's excellent. ..

Who I'd like to meet:

Writers. Creators. Other Smiths. Memoir writers. Storytellers. Memoirists. Non-fiction writers. Comic makers. Graphic novelists. Photographers. People who have great stories about things that have happened to, by, and with them on MySpace. If you want to submit your story, send an email to: info@smithmag.net. Or check out our writers guides.

    future bestseller, more than six words




    You got your Tao in my Swayze. Your Swayze’s in my Tao.






    Within the ancient passages of the Tao Te Ching there is great wisdom on how to live your daily life; how to live the “Way”. The same life lessons can be found in the sage-like colloquies born out of Patrick Swayze’s storied film career.






    Proceeds from this book benefit the American Cancer Society.






    Coming this Summer!

    It just so happens that I told my story to a regional magazine in San Diego that just came out today! If you have time, take a look at it: http://www.thelavenderlens.com/COVERSTORY.html
