In the same way, we’ve built a vibrant community around music, art, and photography, V13 Press is set to open a new chapter for authors worldwide,“ adds Lance Marwood, Director of Communications at V13 Media. “We’re not just offering a platform; we’re inviting writers to join a family, where their stories can go from dreams to reality, where they can take flight together. With Jay leading the charge, we’re poised to turn the page to an exciting future where every word counts and every voice is heard.”
