(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, June 07, 2015 ) London, UK -- There are billions of creative projects that never see the light of day. The human brain constantly generates ideas and inspirations that most people have neither time nor inclination to act upon.
But wouldn't it almost be worse if one did act upon a big idea, only to find it relegated to the back of a dusty warehouse?
This is exactly what happened to Hannah Imogen Jones, an English and American Literature Graduate from The University of Warwick, when she finally answered the calling to publish her most prized photographs and poems. "I left my corporate job and poured all of my energy into bringing this project to fruition," recalls Jones. "It was a long arduous labour of love, mustering the courage and finances to bring my innermost thoughts and experiences out into the open."
Jones proudly recalls receiving the first limited edition print run of 10,000 books. She began selling to family and friends, but all too soon life took over. Jones discovered she was pregnant, and most parents will relate to the all-consuming experience of welcoming their first-born into the world.
"Getting my work out there was always on the back of my mind," confesses Jones, "but I also knew if my book was going to go big, I needed to be ready for that. It's hard to be ready for anything other than the immediate needs of your family when you are a first-time mum."
Fast-forward two years: The storage arrangement had come to an end and Jones needed to move fast to get her books out. Reaching out to her community, she quickly secured an arrangement with Online Value Solutions, an online retailer offering a sales platform to talented but time-starved clients such as Jones. Nette Hargreaves, Director of Online Value Solutions, immediately saw the potential of Jones' anthology, aptly named ‘Heaven Is In Here'. "It was a no-brainer," says Hargreaves, herself a young mother. "'Heaven Is In Here' is a beautifully produced coffee table book, both in terms of its content and appearance. It's a clever crossover between genres – photography, poetry, lifestyle – and thus has a wide audience appeal." Stunningly captured images of people and places are paired with short poems in simple and accessible language. In all, there are over 400 pages of photography and poetry that appeal to both the aficionado and the novice. Book reviewers agree, commenting that ‘Heaven Is In Here' captures "the true meaning of life in a beautiful collection of poems".
"I can't believe this anthology is finally out there," muses Jones. "In poetic terms, I think of my book as a sort of Cinderella, finally dusting off and getting to shine at the ball."
