FIRST OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT POST
Introducing International Indie Collective
My five publications have been rebranded and are now part of a family of publications
Nothing else is changing about the old publications that many of you are used to writing in. Digital Global Traveler, The Random Nerdiness Collective, The Press Box, Internationale, and The Community Building Movement have now just officially become a part of the same family of publications.
This process has been an idea in the making for a while now. I had run the idea by a few of my editors and they helped me conceptualize and come up with the name for the new family of publications. The wonderful writer and editor, Sandra Jasionowska, designed the logo for not just the main page of the new family but also redesigned all of the old logos for the publications and has helped to give the family a more sleek, unified design and look.
She redesigned the logos for the five publications and I think each one has its own creative and quirky charm about them.
Join me in welcoming a new chapter for all of these five publications and for the announcement of the new family of publications. This is an exciting and fun new chapter for all of us. I’d like to take this time to thank all of the current editing team across all of the publications. Thank you to Sandra Jasionowska, Mary Louisa Cappelli, MFA, JD, PhD, Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles, JF Danskin, Mike Butler, and the editors and contributors over at Internationale as well.
I will be looking for more editors at a couple of the publications shortly. The new International Indie Collective publication page that this will post on will be the one-stop shop for all related news for the new family of publications. Stay tuned and follow the page for any related updates.
I am also planning on using the page to highlight any published stories from the writers who’ve found a new home after The Coffee Times shut down back in August 2022. As you all remember, the Community Building Movement was created in direct response to that publication closing. We currently are and will always accept any older Coffee Times stories there. As I’ve said before, any of the previous editors from the publication are also free to inquire about any open editorial positions as well.
I will keep everyone posted.
Welcome to International Indie Collective. In the comments, let our fabulous writer/editor/artist know how great the new designs are.
