Issue #2 - Who Is Arnold (The Authors' Porch Magazine)

Issue #2 explores Youth Authors and how we can focus on our youth categories.

We start our issue with Arnold Lopez a special youth author who just turned sixteen years old and has published his second book. He had a couple of seizures as a toddler that has left him with a disability. He doesn't let it stop him from excelling at being an awesome human being and finding his voice in the literary world.

We feature three youth authors.

Nine year old Devante Jackson writes about being yourself and how it is important to keep your Unique voice, while seven year old Deemah K teaches you about motherly love.

Our third youth author AnTonia Jackson is an adult now, but at the age of twelve she started her career as a spoken word author and continues to grace stages after publishing her books and now has multiple entrepreneurial journeys.

We are hosting a cosmic corner with Joanne Angel Barry Colon who gives you a cosmic forecast for the quarter and Alphabet soup with author L.M. Archer who shows us the importance of diverse characters.

Our poetry spot is courtesy of Sue Menchel and her beautiful poems and Beatriz Pena writes a breath taking article that shows the insight on what she went through as a tough and how other youth could be experiencing the same thing.

We have various articles that show us important lessons for youth and we also have book reviews for this issue as well.

We hope you enjoy the expansion of our magazine and continue to come back each issue and show these authors and creators support.
