The wind slaps rain across the window of an old 3-star hotel. It's 4 a.m., and your flight is delayed indefinitely. Keyed up with frustration and prolonged exhaustion, you examine the contents of the nightstand drawer: a few pages left in a slim notepad imprinted with the pen pressure of previous guests, a hotel pen rolling about erratically and a Gideons Bible. Using the Bible as a lap table, you
spill your thoughts in ink onto the pad. In the words of Joan Didion, "We tell ourselves stories in order to live." Read our stories on Didions Bible, a new online magazine whose mission is to be as authentic and well-written as Joan Didion and as ubiquitous as a Gideons Bible. Creators, a renowned Los Angeles media company specializing in content syndication, digital/audio publishing and licensing content for film and TV, is proud to announce the launch of Didions Bible. Having represented such prominent voices as Hunter S. Thompson, Hillary Clinton, Bill O’Reilly and Tony Kornheiser, Creators has developed Didions Bible as a platform that shines a spotlight on the next generation of writers. Our current lineup of established writers on didionsbible.com, including Jenny McCarthy, Kurt Loder and Alison Rosen, have shaped pop culture through New York Times best-sellers, Rolling Stone magazine editorials and award-winning podcasts. But more importantly, Didions Bible gives new writers the opportunity to prove, in more than 140 characters, that the next generation is smarter than potty humor and paparazzi. Our categories include:
Pop Culture - Examining the importance and ridiculousness of popular culture
Kinda Political - Serious issues (sort of)
It's Complicated - When the other Facebook relationship statuses don’t quite fit
Life - Death, taxes and fruit salad
- Social media and Internet things
B Sides - Vinyl, CDs and MP3s (not just “Rocky Raccoon”)
“A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest.” -- Joan Didion. We welcome our writers and readers to claim this place as their own.
