August 8, 2015 - HOLLYWOOD -- Since its launch in July 2012, Shine On Hollywood magazine (SOHM) has built a circulation of nearly 27 million hits in 60+ countries worldwide, placing the publication in the major leagues among culinary digital magazines. Each issue highlights celebrities and industry professionals in arts and pop culture. The magazine also features articles on entertaining and in-depth pieces on remarkable heartfelt stories.

The professional scope, the experiences and advice of those featured by hard work and discipline, offers the best reflection of a Hollywood that can shape opinion to lift the human condition. SOHM is the only publication that has the capacity to change the pejorative aspects of an industry that requires introspection.

We are dedicated to providing a positive, meaningful and educational experience and to inspire our readers with knowledge and information from creative, qualified industry professionals.

The issue features former Miss USA Nia Sanchez who continues to do volunteer work in the same homeless shelter where she lived as a small child and Hollywood’s Queen of Haute Couture, Sonia Eté whose extraordinary professional career has included dressing the likes of Jennifer Stallone, Candy Spelling, Tracy Danza, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton and Coolio among others.

We have featured 24 industry professionals in the past year and have done our best to showcase celebrities you will easily recognize along with lesser known, yet equally successful entertainment personalities. They are all doing their best work and giving back to their communities.

“I am excited about beginning our fourth year and all that is in store for our readers! We bring real people real stories from Hollywood with positive outlooks from around the world." Mentions SOHM and A&G Entertainment Founder, Arnold Garcia

A reoccurring theme in our stories is the will by those portrayed in the magazine to overcome all obstacles in order to reach their goal. The hardships and the triumphs of those in the spotlight are real, and these events offer inspiration of similar journeys we’ve encountered in our daily lives. As long as we have the capabilities to continue our passion, SOHM will continue its mission to explore all facets of those that contribute to the entertainment industry. ~ Jesse Dorado, Vice President of Shine On Hollywood Magazine and A&G Entertainment Productions

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.

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.

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.”
