Vince B. Bailey spent more than 25 years in publishing, working with some of the most recognizable magazine brands in the country, including Rolling Stone, Esquire, Vibe, Spin, Time, People, and Sports Illustrated. He also taught magazine production at the Columbia Publishing Course at Columbia University for several years.
He has served on the boards of Valley Teen Ranch and the Fresno chapter of the NAACP, and serves on the board of Black Students of California United. He founded the Alliance Magazine Workshop, which has taught production, editing, and writing to young people in Fresno since 2012.
In July 2023, he suffered a stroke and was diagnosed with aphasia — a condition that affects the ability to speak, read, and write. He had to relearn his ABC’s. He spent the next three years fighting back — with therapy, with technology, and with everything he had.
Vince is originally from New York and remains a lifelong, long-suffering New York Knicks fan. After 53 years, the Knicks finally won a championship. After three years of recovery, he finally wrote a book. Some things are worth the wait.
Stroke of Genius — a thriller by Vince B. Bailey.
Frank Bennett bought NexaTech, the biggest acquisition of his career. Then a stroke left him with aphasia. Now somebody is trying to take control of the company and sell it out from under him — and Frank doesn’t know who he can trust.
“They thought he was finished. They were wrong.”
Alliance Magazine. Since 2012, the Alliance Magazine Workshop has taught production, editing, and writing to young people in Fresno. The students make the magazine themselves — every page is theirs.
