Issue eight will feature two authors: Julie Wright and Robison Wells, both Mormon novelists who have published in the Mormon market and are involved with LDStorymakers.

Julie Wright has written several romantic stories, including My Not So Fairy Tale Life, and is currently finishing several new novel series in the genre of fantasy and science fiction.

Robison Wells has served on the board of the LDStorymakers, is the founder of the Whitney Awards, and has written several books in different genres: suspense/thriller, humor, and romantic comedy.

Read about these multi-faceted Mormon novelists in our upcoming issue.

Somehow, between trips around the globe photographing brides, bears, and beaches, freelance photographer Scott Jarvie recently began Jarvie Digital University—an internship and study program for people who want to become better photographers. This educational venture sprang from his desire to pass along the talents he has developed “having spent thousands and thousands of hours…on hundreds of thousands of pictures.”

On his site, Scott talks about the cascading benefits he hopes will accompany Jarvie Digital University.

I feel like I have something to share. I felt I could train others with these valuable tools even to the point they’d be able to teach others in return.

…As students are trained, they [will] share what they’ve learned, what they know with the next batch of students. As students improve on their abilities, they’ll take on more and more roles of paying it forward to newer students, solidifying [their skills] by sharing.

Learn more about Scott’s workflow, his sources of inspiration, and his plans for Jarvie Digital University in his interview in the upcoming Issue 8.
