Notice Anything?

You'd probably have to be blind not to!

Yes, the blog has a new color scheme ... it's sort of a hint about the second issue of The Voice of Valor.

Due out on September 5th, the new issue reminds us that fall is just around the corner, and school is about to begin for millions of Americans.  Our theme for the second issue is "All Things School" and we can't wait to share the ideas and articles with you!  Staff members are busy with layout and design right now ... and then comes proof reading ... and then ...publication!  Stay tuned!

Now's Your Chance!

We're getting to the final stages of production for our second issue!   As we put things together, we're wondering if you, our readers, have any comments or thoughts you'd like to share after reading our first issue?  We'd love to hear them ... even print them in a "reader's response" column or "Letters to the Editor."

So go ahead ... now's your chance! ... tell us what you think! (Use the contact us tab above)

We're looking forward to hearing from you!

Issue #2...

...is underway!  Thanks to all who have submitted articles and stories for our next publication date (Sept.  2012)  We definitely encourage submissions from interested writers.  Electronic submissions are the easiest for us to use, as our staff is geographically dispersed.

When submitting artwork or writing, we ask that you please remember to include your name, age, and email address and regular postal mailing address. No personal information is shared or used except for communication or acknowledgement if your work is used in our magazine.

Thanks for your continued interest in The Voice of Valor magazine!  Please feel free to tell others about it, and pray that it can truly be a Voice for good in our world!

Summer

Time to relax and enjoy the sun, right?  Well ... yes...but, we're working, too. (Idleness is the devil's workshop, you know!) This week our writers and staff are getting organized for issue #2 of The Voice of Valor.  Since it is scheduled for publishing in September, our theme will be related to education.  Some interesting topics are in store, and you'll find a new feature, too!  

Any readers with thoughts about the first issue they'd like to share, or questions and comments for the editor, feel free to send them in.  The CONTACT US link provides information on how to contact us electronically, or through the postal service.  We'd love to have your input!

In the meantime, enjoy your summer, and watch for our new issue in September!

Ideas?

Recently a reader suggested that we consider an article on debt, in a future edition of The Voice of Valor.  We thought that was a great idea!  Money in general and debt in particular is definitely an area of concern in our day. The suggestion made us want to ask if there are other topics readers think would be relevant to young Catholic teens and adults, and which you might like to see discussed in our magazine.  If you've got ideas, we'd love to hear them!  Leave a comment or send them to us via our contact link above.  Thanks!

Thanks!

We've received so many great comments from many of you, regarding the premier issue of The Voice of Valor!  It's wonderful to have such positive support. Most comments have come via email, and so are not visible on the blog itself.  Hopefully more people will leave their input on the blog.

A little bit of trivia regarding the blog....
     1) It's been viewed over 400 times (most since the premier issue was posted)
     2) It's been read by people all over the world ... literally!  There have been visitors
           from the United States, Germany, Russia, France...even Malaysia and Japan!

Thanks to those who have ordered print subscriptions, also.  We're quite excited about that, and will get them out to you promptly.

The Voice of Valor staff has already begun planning for the next issue (due out Sept. 15, 2012). We have a bunch of great ideas and some new writers, too!   As before, we welcome submissions from young Catholics!  Use the CONTACT US link above if you'd like to be a part of this venture!

God bless you~
