The magazine is complete. That means it’s time for me to get
really sentimental and teary-eyed.
The release reading was a happy success! We were pleased to
welcome several of our authors, such as Laura Oliver, Ashleigh Cowan, and
Nicholas Cittadino (a counselor at Solano Community College!). And we were also
happy to meet the artist of the image we chose as our cover, Rita Okusako!
You all had the opportunity to see the cover (in very tiny
form) on the SVR release reading poster, but here it is in all its glory:
Before I end my last blog (sniff) I would like to extend
a few thanks. Firstly, thank you to everyone who has been following along with
our adventure via this blog, and put up with my jokes both good and bad.
I
would also like to thank all of those who worked so diligently on this magazine
all semester long—including our editors, our advisor, our school’s graphics
department, and the Sacramento-based binder that put together the pieces with
such great care. (As well as many others that I'm sure I have neglected—when you're but one cog, it's hard to see the whole machine!)
And I would lastly (but not leastly!) would like to extend a
thank-you to everyone who submitted: we would not have a magazine without you.
