Art journals are a great way to express yourself; whether it's writing amazing nonfiction stories, recording memories, expressing feelings, or just keeping a private diary; not just writing but drawing as well.

The Front Steps Project(TM) is a fundraising endeavor created to bring communities together and help those suffering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and this book will be a heartwarming keepsake of togetherness depicting an unprecedented time in our country. Community residents commission participating photographers to take a portrait of themselves and their loved ones on their front steps-or porch, driveway, stoop, or other outdoor location. The sessions are a time to bring people together when they feel isolated and the residents receive a portrait that memorializes their time of social distancing. Then, the proceeds from the photo session are donated by the photographers to local community groups. Includes photos of COVID Pandemic heroes Doctor Dara Kass (44.7k Twitter followers), Doctor Craig Spencer (136k Twitter followers) and others who will share news of the book.Authors' efforts have been covered by numerous major national media sources this spring. Through The Front Steps Project's Instagram account, photographers across the United States-and even the globe-have been inspired to start their own programs in their communities. As of May 9, 2020, more than 450 photographers have voluntarily replicated #TheFrontStepsProject, raising over $1,500,000 for local food pantries, hospitals, animal shelters and more. West Margin Press will donate a portion of their profits to The United Way and its own efforts to help people impacted by this pandemic.
