On Schedule...

Our March issue is ready to read!  CLICK HERE Let us know what you think of it...

5000 and counting!

Our blog and magazine have had 5010 hits as of today!  That's a milestone!  When we published the first issue less than 2 years ago, we certainly weren't expecting so much interest. Thanks to all our readers online, and to those who subscribe to our print magazine. 

 The war of good vs evil needs the valorous effort of every warrior possible... we welcome your support and your contributions to our magazine.  Please promote our magazine to your friends and family, and pray that we can keep up this effort to promote the Faith to teens, by teens! 

Limericks

...you know what those are, don't you?  Funny 5-lined poems like this one:

There was a young lady of Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger;
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside,
And the smile on the face of the tiger.

Lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme and have about 9 syllables
Lines 3 and 4 rhyme and have about 6 syllables
They are usually about a person (who is mentioned in the first line) and they are supposed to be humorous.  

So ... why the poetry lesson, you may be asking?  Well ... because we'd like to include a few original limericks in our March issue.  Want to try your hand at writing one or two?  Go ahead!  Get your family and friends to try, too.  Then send us the ones you like best and watch to see if they appear in our next issue!  Start now ... what are you waiting for!  You can email them to us at:

Can't wait to see what you come up with!  

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!  We hope you are enjoying our December issue!   

Believe it or not, we've already got big plans for March ... that will be our 8th issue, completing our second year of publishing The Voice of Valor.  And we couldn't have done it without YOU... our readers and especially our writers. 

If you'd like to be a part of the next issue, click on the NEWSLETTER tab above to see what you can do!  Christmas vacation might provide just the opportunity for many of you to get something written!

Done!

Yes ... we have finished the December issue!  You can read it online here.  Those who have print subscriptions should receive them in the mail within the week.  Thanks for your continued support of our efforts.  Wishing you all a blessed Advent.

Any day now!

We are just finishing up the printing our Christmas issue!  A digital copy should be up before the weekend, and print copies in your mail boxes early next week.  Thanks for your patience and support.  Here is a quick peek at the cover image for the December issue.

Back at it!

So ... school is well underway and everyone is pretty much back into the whole academic routine, right?  Great!  That means you're ready to write.  And we're looking for some great pieces for our next issue of The Voice of Valor.  We've still got openings for some of the regular columns, and of course we are looking for submissions for our Young Authors Today section.  Maybe you've already written an essay or poem  for school that you'd like to share.  Maybe you've been pondering a story or creative piece.  Or maybe you're more of a reader than a writer ... then let us know what you think about what you've read in our previous issues by sending a letter to the editor or readers response.  Whatever you've got to share, ... send it!  We'd love to help you get it published and read by others. 

Some of you may prefer to drawing to writing.  Great!  We're always looking for artists to illustrate stories for the magazine.  We've got stories ready and waiting for illustration ... so let us know!

Our latest newsletter will be out soon with specific details of what we can use ...watch for that.  But in the meantime feel free to contact us directly if you'd like to be involved with the new issue. 

Our email is:  voiceofvalor2012@gmail.com

Spread the word!  Let's make December the best issue yet!
