Cardin had been abuzz about the recent publication of an essay by a current senior, Alex Hershon. Alex's essay, "A Kid and His Kindle," was published in The Reader, an internationally respected literary journal. We're all proud of Alex's accomplishment--writing the essay, submitting it, and getting it published where his words can be widely read.
That's one of the big points of writing, isn't it? When your work is published, your ideas and images and stories connect with an audience. Publication can take many forms, especially with today's technologies: in addition to print books and magazines/journals, there's eBooks (as Alex talks about in his essay), online magazines, and online blogs.
There's also an "old fashioned" way to share your work with people in your community: the high school literary magazine.
A school literary magazine's main goal is to offer young writers their first chance at publication. It provides a showcase for many different types of writing: fiction, poetry, essays. It offers a nice way for artists and photographers to share their creativity as well.
The Cardin literary magazine is currently open for submissions, and we're interested in seeing all varieties of creative work from students (and--dare I say it?--from faculty). Help your work connect with an audience--send the editors some of your creative work to be considered for publication in the school literary magazine!
