Kudos to Loganberry Books for making such a powerful statement on International Women’s Day. They wanted to call attention to the gender gap in fiction so the staff created their a sort of… art installation. They went through the fiction shelves and turned ALL the fiction works written by men…backwards! Only the women’s works were left with the spine showing (and therefore legible). The project demonstrated the lopsided ratio of male to female authors.
Former Art Director for Home Magazine, Heather Leahy Zachariah, left her career in publishing after baby number number one. She now works from home as a freelance graphic designer and a chauffeur to her 3 busy kids. "Working on TipsFromTown has been a wonderful outlet for me. It renewed my love of publishing where I can design colorful, enticing pages online and allows me to share the things I love about being a mom." Heather grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a place that still is near and dear to her. " After living in Brooklyn for 18 years and studying Graphic Design at Pratt Institute, she now lives in the Jersey burbs. "I love living so close to NYC, but in my heart, I'm an Ohio girl."
