Taking It to the Tweets

Thursday, March 21, 2013


You may have noticed I haven't been blogging much lately.

You may think I've been quiet because I'm facing writer's block, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, I've filled several pages of the notebook pictured above with ideas. But I'm saving them.

Remember when I said I was going to pursue my dream of starting a magazine? Well, I meant it. I challenged myself to come up with enough ideas for three months worth of posts for my online magazine, which I plan to launch this summer. I got a bit carried away and I have a list of nearly 200 article topics.

Now you're probably thinking to yourself, "That's so cool that Javacia is finally going to try to start an online magazine. How could I help her?"

Well, I'm so glad you asked! Today I am starting a Twitter campaign in an effort to build anticipation for See Jane Write Magazine. My hope is that my 'zine will garner 1,000 Twitter followers even before it launches! A lofty goal, I know, but with your help I think I can do it.

So please follow @seejanewritemag and spread the word to other women writers, bloggers, and journalists. In return for your support you can expect @seejanewritemag to tweet inspirational and informational articles to help you in your writing and blogging careers, in addition to links related to feminism and women's empowerment.

Also, if you are a woman writer, blogger, or journalist and you would like to be featured in a future See Jane Write Magazine article, please let me know. While my organization See Jane Write is for women in Birmingham, this magazine is for women worldwide. So please reach out to me regardless of where you live.

Let's do this!

  3. Writeous Jai, I was feeling more than a LITTLE marginalized after reading that this new venture was a girl's club, because what if a dude wants to peruse SeeJaneWriteMagazine? Hmph! :) Nonetheless, I'm giving it a shout thru BPL sometime soon. I hope it helps. Good luck with this. I just know it's going to be a great success.

    All Best,

    1. Oh, Hunter! You are free to peruse SJW Mag anytime and I won't leave the fellas out in the cold. I plan to have a feature called Man of the Hour that will include interviews and profiles on men we think are awesome, such as men who do incredible work for local libraries. :)

  5. I am thrilled for you. That you are making this dream a reality. I am happy to actually find out about this before the launch. I seem to always get into things after they've been established. I'm an ideas person so if you ever run out of ideas, I'd be happy to brainstorm with you! :-)
