VOL. 2 FEB. 2026 APSIRING AUTHORS MAGAZINE

As we celebrate Black History Month—honored here 24/7/365—and our 6th year of service, Editor-in-Chief Angela Thomas Smith (The Queen of Collaborations) curates an issue that bridges generations of storytellers across the African diaspora. We spotlight the builders behind the books: indie authors, small-press visionaries, educators, and community organizers turning pages into pathways. Our guiding truth remains unchanged: We are the change we desire to see in this world!!!! Available globally in digital and print via Amazon, Blurb, and MagCloud, this milestone issue doubles as a celebration and a call to action: write bravely, publish smart, collaborate widely, and pass the torch. Six years in, we’re just getting started—and every page says it loud. We are the change we desire to see!!!!
