SMITH Magazine
 Larry Smith had a dream of letting you and me tell our stories to the world. As simple as it sounds, a publication about average folks telling their above-average tales wasn't a quick sale (damn those cold-hearted execs!). Undeterred, Smith toiled away, writing and editing for national publications like Men's Journal, Might, and Yahoo! Internet Life. Finally, in 2006, with the help of some volunteer editors, a clear vision, and fortuitous timing, Larry launched his namesake SMITH.
In an age when MySpace and Facebook rule the roost, the world blogs itself silly, and social “interconnectivity” is blowing up bubble 2.0, SMITH mag is in the right place at the right time. Larry's vision is to spread human tales—what he calls "personal media"—online and, eventually, in book form. With a much-hailed graphic novel and a slew of intimate, personal, and top-notch contributions, we think Larry's just cracked the book open. The moral of Mr. Smith's story? Stick to your dreams and never let someone say "the end" before your adventure's even started.
