Dear Readers

Welcome to the August-September 2015 issue of Shine On Hollywood Magazine (“SOHM”)! With the fall season just around the corner and as the summer season sings its final swan song, we are reminded that change is inevitable. However, each change, as with the seasons, can bring new types of excitement. We are fortunate here in Hollywood to live in a place where each season brings new forms of entertainment. Just as the hot, sexy summer parties around sparking pools come to a close, the glamourous film award season is ushered in. Moreover, the lives that have changed and shaped Hollywood have also brought the world brilliance in film, music, art and fashion. This month our focus is on “Top Music Industry Professionals!” These individuals entertain, inspire and enhance the condition of our lives and we are proud to include them in our SOHM family.

Shine On Hollywood Magazine exceeds 17 million global clicks, and asks for pay-it-forward contributions for its formerly free digital publication, to succeed in spreading positive messages from Hollywood to the globe.

August 12, 2014-Hollywood, CA- Shine On Hollywood Magazine (SOHM) shares stories of triumph and success in the entertainment industry, and after releasing two years of free digital issues, the founder and publisher Arnold Garcia is asking for contributions. When asked why, Garcia has several reasons. On it’s two-year anniversary, SOHM has grown globally. Europe, Asia and Latin America have according to views, become addicted to SOHM. There are over 130,000 likes on Facebook, and when Hollywood magazine is searched for on the Internet, SOHM is in the top three hits. To further this momentum funds are now vital to the company.

There are also future plans. There will be an interactive webcast with celebrities, the discovery of global talent, translation into different languages, and interviews with high-end celebrities. All plans need funding. Money is needed to give hope to the undiscovered, to allow celebrities to share their experience to the audience, and to tell the public that Hollywood is not about negativity, he says. Sharing to Garcia means giving and receiving talent between each party. He says that it is what the real Hollywood should be about. 

To Garcia, sharing also means putting out endless hours to create a spark not often seen in Hollywood magazines, the human touch, the passion that commonality exists, and that any individual can thrive and succeed in life. Garcia wants to always show how talent can give back to the community through experience, teaching, and sharing stories of achievement. He passionately believes that for the public to share by contribution is to also feel that human touch.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hollywood, California, August 12, 2013, Shine On Hollywood Magazine is proud to announce the release of a special magazine dedicated to its 1st anniversary. "Reflection On Our Biggest Celebration" issue is dedicated to the most impressive online publications to date.

Over 12 months ago, Arnold Garcia, founder, CEO of A&G Entertainment Productions (AGEP) launched his first E-Magazine, Shine On Hollywood Magazine (SOHM). After a successful launch of his first digital magazine in July 2012, SOHM has been in the spotlight. With the release of the July/August 2013 issue (August issue front cover featuring Mara New “Top Indie Film Industry Professionals’); we’re proud to announce the one-year anniversary of a monthly online publication where exclusive interviews with celebrities and industry insiders have provided exceptional 'tips' for our readers to use.

SOH Vice President Jesse Dorado mentions that in its first year, 'Shine On Hollywood has earned a reputation for in-depth, intelligent discussions with personalities that have the ability to offer an honest perspective.'

SOHM has gained a devoted following since its beginning in July of 2012. The magazine has grown from 1 to 25 countries obtaining millions of hits and has documented an astounding array of interviews. 

“Our publication has offered great stories over the past 12 months due to the desire from our readers to devote our efforts in avoiding gossip, violence and negativity. There are members of the Hollywood community that seek recognition in large part, to gain publicity for their current projects. In so doing, we at SOH are not afraid to ask specific personal question which enlightens the importance of the project or the life of the individual in question.. The celebrities and high-end professionals we interview trust our ability to represent true and factual accounts of their circumstances as we don’t twist their stories or quote them out of context. Some of these professionals have been inspirational to us during tough times in our lives, so it’s a pleasure to get to know them personally and find out what makes them tick as individuals.” Mentions SOH Founder, Arnold Garcia.

Christine Aldridge, SOHM's Director of Copy Editing / Staff Writer, said, “There are lots of publications out there that will give you all the latest news or gossip on the superstars, but virtually no others that focus on the real people who make up the heart and backbone of the entertainment industry.”

There are numerous young professionals who can take notes from our magazine for their success! That's what Shine On Hollywood Magazine is all about -  to share the “Real People, Real Stories” in Hollywood by presenting the heartfelt journeys and endeavors of the entertainment industry professionals who are changing lives throughout the industry worldwide. Giving back to students, young artists, professionals and the general public in the arts and pop culture is a byproduct of the magazine's content. SOHM also helps to bring the community together by introducing some of the most well recognized professional experts in the industry.

The Illustrative Cover page of the 1st Anniversary raises the curiosity of what lies beneath, while the innovative faces around the cake offers a special look at the past 12 covers. Editors of the publication asked their favorite entertainers to pose in modern-day recreations of those covers, for a one-of-a-kind look back at the past.
