O ccasionally, I get the question: Where do you come up with your story ideas? If ego reigned supreme in my life, I would answer, “me.” I don’t deny I have an ego, but if I didn’t keep it under check and silenced at crucial times, I doubt if I would get anyone to work with me, which means I wouldn’t be a publisher of any magazine. Putting out a publication is always a collaborative effort involving more than one person. One can liken a publisher as a sort of producer, pulling together the right elements in search of meeting the established overarching theme. Our theme is vintage and Kansas City, and I try to give each of our contributors wide latitude in demonstrating their creativity under that theme. Doing that answers the question — our ideas come from our contributors. If you want to know whom, look at the names on the masthead to the right of this column. This issue features a cover story by Corbin Crable and photography by Silas Cook. The idea for the story sprang from a previous story we did on Michelle Meyer and her farm tables. Assistant editor/fashion director Calli Green and photographer Patti Klinge lobbied hard to do a cover feature on Meyer. What was I to do? Simply trust and agree. So most of the VKC story ideas come from the editors, writers, photographers and, occasionally, our advertising representatives. And sometimes an advertiser or reader will throw out a suggestion. Me? Oh yeah, I contribute some ideas. Some fly into print and visuals, others have the half-life of Frisbee slamming into the trunk of a tree. Ego contained. ^
