Today a new baby was born. It’s name is Life As A Human.

Life As A Human is an excit­ing new web venue that com­ments on and cel­e­brates the human expe­ri­ence. The site fea­tures writ­ing across a wide range of top­ics. Our goal is not to pro­mote sen­sa­tion­al­ism, but to always strive to be sen­sa­tional. As well, we hope to make our con­tri­bu­tion to the world through phil­an­thropic efforts that ben­e­fit humans from all walks of life.

As many of you know, I signed on as Edi­tor in Chief of Life As A Human — I didn’t have to think twice. I am thrilled to be part of such a cre­ative team and excited about our amaz­ing edi­to­r­ial offer­ing. This line up includes peo­ple like Steven Erik­son, best­selling author of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series; Bill Weaver, founder of Media that Mat­ters; San­dra Phin­ney, travel writer extra­or­di­naire; Julie Har­ri­son of Cof­fee with Julie fame; and Ali­son Skel­ton, shaman and artist. Every day we will be releas­ing more sto­ries by more con­trib­u­tors. If you would like to con­tribute sto­ries or pho­tos, please visit our Sub­mis­sions page.

“To say that the writ­ing com­mu­nity has expressed a great deal of inter­est in Life As A Human would be an under­state­ment,” says Life As A Human pres­i­dent Gil Namur.

“Right from day one we have had tremen­dous feed­back, all of which has been pos­i­tive and encour­ag­ing,” he con­tin­ues. “We want to thank all of the con­trib­u­tors who have embraced our vision. Their sup­port and the trust they have placed in Life As A Human has been extra­or­di­nary. With­out them, these pages would be, well, pretty empty. A huge thank you also goes out to all of our social media friends. Thank you so much for your tweets, stum­bles and Face­book posts. Please don’t stop.”

I hope you will visit Life As A Human soon. We look for­ward to your com­ments, sug­ges­tions and contributions.
