The Storytellers Issue
July 2023
For our inaugural Storytellers Issue, the VIE team wanted to explore many forms and expressions people worldwide use to communicate, educate, and entertain through stories. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and our cover photographer, David Yarrow, proves that tenfold with his evocative, cinematic imagery. Be sure to read more in our feature and check out his latest book, Storytelling, now available. More stories inside feature a curated collection of other photographers, writers, filmmakers, and all-around creative types striving to tell their stories to the world in unique ways. Join the Emerald Coast Storytellers organization as they host monthly Open Mic Night events and celebrate their first anniversary this month! Take a journey through Rome, Italy, and Oxfordshire, England, to get acquainted and inspired by the places so many poets and orators have roamed before you. And remember to shop C’est la VIE for products that pair perfectly with your latest beach read. Our publisher, The Idea Boutique, also has plenty of projects in the works, so brush up on those and so much more in this robust issue. Happy reading!
