ABOUT

Strong Truths. We are a collaborative art community and an independent publishing company. We support young artists (writers, poets, photographers, and all other visual arts) ages 13 - 29 (29+ coming soon). We are working on publishing a series of Strong Truths books collaborating with multiple mediums to create a unique and desired product. We are more than a publishing company and art community, we are a movement.

The world of art & literature is a large one. The task of trying to separate yourself from the pack and also gain an audience that follows and cares for what you create; what you felt when you created that gorgeous piece, is a difficult one. Writing and/or art is your passion and our passion, we are writers and artists with a passion for publishing and an unwavering faith in young artists. Collaboration is the solution.

We are looking for new contributors, writers, artists, photographers etc. Please visit the website for more information and how to apply: [link]

Our purpose is to show the talent of youths expression; who they are to those that do not recognize their talent. Youths seem to go unnoticed, silenced because of their age and in our society lets face it youths are neglected, forgotten even. We are here to change that and in
turn allow the growth of the Strong Truths Community and through this we aim to help youths feel that art can heal them, and yet be just as powerful to others.

Strong Truths is exactly the word, the strong brutal truths of life, however from youths points of view and their beliefs. It is the truths of what we see through our eyes, how we feel about life and the world around us. It is everything that is never said or spoken of or what others care or dare to know.

Strong Truths is exactly the word, the strong brutal truths of life, however from youths points of view. It is the truths of what we see through our eyes, how we feel about life and the world around us. It is everything that is never said or spoken of or what others care or dare to know.

I believe in the unknown, a beauty yet to be captured, and that to me is a true art. It is hard to say what you truly feel or show who you are to those who are directly in front of you. So what are the truths of all of us?

If you are interested in submitting work [art, photography, writing (poetry, short stories, prose)]into the first Strong Truths publication, please send your work as deadlines are coming!! We are really looking for short stories and photography at the moment, we will keep our eyes open for all mediums!

You can visit the site: [link] and click the join tab.

Over the holidays I will be going through all the work that has already been submitted. Which means I along with my editing team are entering editing mode! Although if you send it after deadlines I will view it, it will take me time to respond, and it will also not be approved for the new book, it will be put in the possibility list for the following publication! So submit now!

I have been silently hunting for the perfect and cost effective way to self publish. I will post all plans and the step by step process on the blog as I work. If you have any concerns, questions or issues, please contact me, you all know I love to hear from you all.

I will be in touch with further updates within the following weeks and new year.

Infinite in mystery is the Gift of the Goddess.
We seek it thus, and take to the sky.
Ripples form on the water's surface.
The wondering soul knows no rest.
