Letter from the Editors: I

f you haven’t noticed, Chapbook Magazine has evolved and blossomed this school year. We have transitioned from a wesbite to an online magazine platform to showcase the talents of both writers and designers through the pages. This semester, Jerry Hicks’ magazine class worked as a team with Gary Metzker’s digital design class. Together, we created one of our best issues of Chapbook Magazine ever.

Starting this semester at a sprint, we asked students to arrive on the first day of class with story ideas. Four weeks later, with little to no experience writing for a magazine, they had stories written and ready for the design team. After countless hours of refining, the issue came together.

We are proud of all the writers for challenging themselves and showing their dedication to this magazine through their work. And we are grateful to our design team for making incredible illustrations, taking fantastic pictures, and designing every page to tell these stories.

We want to thank Jerry Hicks and Gary Metzker for their guidance and support these past seven weeks. It is an honor to learn from you both.

We encourage you to not only appreciate the writing but the overall design of each story. Please enjoy the third edition of ChapBook Magazine and the first issue of the spring 2023 semester. As you read, celebrate the outstanding work of our talented students. Enjoy, and make sure to follow us @chapbookmagazine on Instagram!

Your

editors, Alexandra Davenport
