"Focusing myself on my needs and not just accepting the yoga instructor's cues was of paramount importance." Find "Yoga Journal: Manifestations" in the Blurb Bookstore: https://bit.ly/3zPRNcP

    Jack Webster, an Ohio-based motor racing photojournalist, chronicles over 50 years of the sport in his book "Racing Pilots." It's a stunning showcase of his racing photography and a historic record. "This book is my legacy," Webster said. "I took every photo, wrote every word, designed every page, raised all the money, and am making all the sales." Discover the story behind this remarkable project in our exclusive interview: https://bit.ly/3BxN2oz

    • You're a pro at marketing. Any advice for other self-publishers? Jack Webster replied:

    Randy De Leon, a.k.a. REBORNZ, is a Los Angeles native who discovered his love for art at a very young age drawing funky animals. As a young adult in the late '90s and early 2000s, he seized every opportunity to express his creativity through graffiti and the street art scene. In the first volume of his illustration book, REBORNZ showcases both personal and commissioned work from 2023 to 2024. "When it comes to personal projects, I often take inspiration from the characters I imagine," he said, "but my approach shifts for commissioned work."
