Leo Adam Biga's My Inside Stories

Here are some work updates from my ever-expanding projects list (as of May 2010):

Check out my cover story on philanthropist Dick Holland in the June New Horizons newspaper. Should hit the stands, so to speak, May 28.

Read my stories about the Great Plains Theatre Conference in the current Metro Magazine, http://www.spiritofomaha.com/, and in The Reader  — http://www.thereader.com.

Read my story about the Omaha South High School boys soccer team and the “green card” incident in this week’s Reader (www.thereader.com).  That same story appears in the new issue of El Perico, a South Omaha dual English-Spanish newspaper that I’m doing lots of work for these days.

My work will be featured in the soon-to-launch Omaha Fashion Magazine.

A story I wrote about Holocaust survivor Kitty Williams of Council Bluffs won a Nebraska Press Association award.  You can read the story on this blog by clicking on her name, Kitty Williams, or by clicking on the Holocaust or History categories in the Categories From A to Z list on the right hand side of the blog screen.

My first book, a biography of Mark Manhart, is nearing completion and should be published by early to mid 2011.

I recently wrote a short history of an independent Nebraska movie theater chain.

Soon, I will be working on a book for the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society on Jewish grocers and food wholesalers who did business in the area during the 20th century.

I also have a project in play with Creighton University’s College of Business Administration.
