The Relatable Voice Magazine - January 2026

Dear Readers,

Happy New Year! Welcome to our 41st issue of The Relatable Voice! We are thrilled to have you as part of our growing community.

Winter is here, and there’s nothing better than staying warm with a good book, a favorite movie, or writing your own story—tea or cappuccino in hand.

Our cover star is the amazing Jacqueline Kopito, author and twin expert. Her latest book, Twintastic in Miami, is making waves with children, and we are so happy to have her grace our cover.

This issue is packed with inspiration for your New Year’s resolutions. Our columnists Vivian Schapera, Mandy Eve-Barnett, and Gary Smith share their top tips for starting the year strong. Dr. Gal Chivvis tells how she finally started writing after dreaming for ten years to become an author. Liisa Kovala offers practical guidance for maintaining a consistent writing routine, while James Bow shares strategies for overcoming the writing slump. And for those navigating uncertainty, Dr. Roxane Daleo shows us how to find calm amid life’s challenges.

With so many great articles, book features, and interviews, there’s something in this issue for every reader. We hope this year brings you love, health, and peace, and countless stories to read, write, and share.

Warmly,

Lucia Matuonto

Chief Editor and Creator of “The Relatable Voice” podcast, magazine and Book Fair
