      Josh, you don't know me, but I've known Michelle since before she was born and have spent every possible moment with her thereafter. I get (and love) what you're doing, and so does my indescribably interesting and talented anarchist teenage son. I would be honored to help with your endeavor any way I can, free of charge, and I believe I have much to offer. I have degrees and shmegrees, years of experience, mostly editing, but I'm also a primitive artist. While my actual age disgusts me, I remain 27 in my head - except when I randomly shout with deserved pride, "Boomers Rule." I'll end with these timeless words of wisdom from John Lennon: "I'm a moldy moldy man. I'm moldy through and through. I'm a moldy moldy man. You would not think it's true. I'm moldy til my eyeballs. I'm moldy til my toe. I will not dance I shyballs. I'm such a humble joe." Best wishes for continued success, Amy Favin

      Spencer, e-pub and PDF will be available! Though the book comes across better in print as it is heavily graphic designed based.

      Will the e-books be PDFs or e-pub? (I like e-pub!)

Connected as Roshua Jaab (498 friends)

I am Josh, artistic manager and editor at theNewerYork Mag.

We have offices (meaning people with computers who help us) in Paris, New York City and Los Angeles.

I went to school for English and Philosophy (the money makers).

I like yoga, reading, classical piano, composting, gluten-free diets and hybrid cars, but when the time is right, I also like beer, trucks, shotguns, and dubstep (usually simultaneously).

I hope to grow theNewerYork into something bigger, a community/stage for experimental writers or an online art gallery.

I've got big plans.
