Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone's summer is going well. Since we are returning in a few weeks, I hope more of you will come by our room (1548 N Club Row). It's actually cozy, considering that we got new items in the room, so it feels like an apartment rather than an office. As the semester begins, be sure to stop by and do whatever club hours you can, especially within the first few months. Do not do club hours when the semester is almost over! Hanging out in club row when you have finals is not such a great idea. In short, club hours are not mandatory, but you will be helping us out if you can spare some of your time during the semester. We are always looking for people who are willing to meet with potential members. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone all over again, including our newest members. Always spread the word about our journal in your classes, recruit your peers, and keep writing to keep this journal alive. Our launch party is coming up; we will email you about the dates!
On another note, I am still meeting with authors and artists who have already submitted work for the upcoming fall 2009 journal. Everyone who was not selected will be notified shortly. I am, however, still overlooking all writing material from Spring 2009, so don't go into panic mode if you haven't been contacted as of yet. Keep in mind that there will be more journals in the future. I will be more than happy to meet with any writer who has submitted work even if he/she has not been selected by the editorial board. Going over you work is the best way to both improve your writing as an author and a student.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and email me if you have any questions about the journal, editorial board, and club. Also, we are going to change the name of the club. We will be called the "Creative Writing Club" as of September, 2009.
Best,
Rachel Ramirez
President of the Fiction Writers Association
