Author Virginia Ford’s New Book, “Walk Like a Man,” Takes Readers on an Intimate Journey to Experience How the Author’s Early Life Shaped Her Into Who She is Today

 Virginia Ford, a loving wife and mother who enjoys fishing and camping, and has loved Jesus since she was young, has completed her new book, “Walk Like a Man”: a heartfelt memoir detailing the struggles and triumphs experienced by the author as she navigates life, learning to trust God in the process and rely upon her faith throughout her journey.

“I came up with the idea for the name of my book when one evening, as Den and I were walking down a dark and deserted road in Germany, carrying off our garbage, he had me dressed in a fatigue jacket, army baseball hat, and I had on jeans. He said, ‘Jenny, walk like a man.’ I have thought about that many times as I have navigated the roads I have traveled in my life—some good and some very hard,” writes Ford.

“My book is about the first twenty-six years of my life. It sometimes feels like I lost my life and picked up another one. I have been happy and sad, but I have tried to be content in whatever state I have found myself. I have found happiness and contentment in my God, my husband, my children, and grandchildren. God is so good!”

Published by Page Publishing, Virginia Ford’s captivating tale explores how the author’s relationship with God and early acceptance of Christ as her savior has prepared her for all of life’s challenges, providing her the strength to carry through every obstacle placed upon her path. By sharing her deeply personal and honest story, Ford aims to encourage others to seek out God and witness the wonderful gifts he bestows upon his followers, as he has done for the author.

Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “Walk Like a Man” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Wiley and Virginia Library Consortium VIVA Sign Agreement to Drive Open Access Research

 Global research and education leader Wiley today announced a three year open access agreement with VIVA, a consortium of more than seventy libraries and academic institutions throughout the US state of Virginia, to begin in 2022.

The agreement, which expands on a previous pilot between Wiley and VIVA, will allow researchers at 55 participating Virginia institutions the ability to publish accepted articles open access in all of Wiley’s fully gold and hybrid open access journals, as well as provide access to all subscription content.

The first such agreement between VIVA and a large publisher, this will make an estimated 75% of all research published in Wiley journals by Virginia higher education authors open access in the first year, with the percentage growing each year of the agreement. Research published under the agreement will be accessible for free to anyone who wishes to read it, enabling a wider dissemination of scientific findings among both scholars and the public alike.

“We are pleased to join VIVA in advancing sustainable, scalable pathways to open access publishing, which is an increasing priority for academic institutions across the United States,” said Liz Ferguson, Senior Vice President, Wiley Research Publishing. “Through this agreement, academics across Virginia will gain the open access advantage, garnering more attention for their research and showcasing their contributions on the global stage.”

“We are deeply invested in creating partnerships with publishers that will enable open access for Virginia authors, no matter the size or funding level of their institutions,” said Anne Osterman, Director of VIVA.  “Wiley has been an excellent collaborator in how to craft a model that increases equity in publishing for Virginia and moves toward a more open future in a sustainable way.”

Academic research in the United States is funded through a diverse mix of sources, including the government alongside academic, industry, and philanthropic institutions. With a growing awareness among stakeholders of the value that public access to research brings in solving regional and global challenges, such as public health disparities and climate change, embracing a centralized approach to open access is paramount. Through this agreement, VIVA and Wiley are leading the United States into an open access future.

This agreement also builds on many similar agreements Wiley has negotiated, including with other US-based institutions.
