The Literary Magazine is being reintroduced after nearly five years for students who have creative writing and art pieces they want to share with the school.  Sponsor Anna Nelson is excited about restarting the magazine and giving students the chance to publish their work.

“[The Literary Magazine] is a collection of short stories, creative stories or artwork that students can submit,” Nelson said. “It is a great opportunity for students to read work by their peers.”

English teacher Justin Bogart suggested Nelson restart the magazine since she teaches Creative Writing.

“It seemed like a natural fit for her to oversee the magazine since she has some insight,” Bogart said.

Nelson selected 11 students to be on the committee to create the magazine. However, students that wanted to be a part of the committee this school year but could not for any reason will have the opportunity next year.

Any students can submit creative stories, poetry and artwork beginning after spring break.

“We will announce the magazine eventually and put up posters,” Nelson said. “We will accept submissions after spring break and will get the magazine put together during fourth quarter.”

There will be one issue of the literary magazine produced by the end of the year.

“Maybe in the future we will have enough entries for the magazine to come out once a semester,” Nelson said. “Hopefully we will have 25-30 entries this semester depending on the interest of the student body.”
