Editor's Note
It’s hard to believe, but Mormon Artist is now one year old. We’ve profiled almost fifty artists so far and enlist the help of just over a hundred volunteers (though not everyone helps out with every issue, I should add). Kind of amazing, really, especially when you consider that it’s all a labor of love. I’d like to thank everyone—artists, volunteers, and especially you readers—for making all of this possible. Let’s make year two even better.
Effective next issue, we’re switching to a quarterly frequency (January, April, July, October) instead of publishing a new issue every other month. Why? More time to put each issue together, which will help us make a better magazine. Future issues will be longer, though, so you don’t need to feel like you’re getting gypped. This will be good. (And luckily MagCloud recently raised their maximum-page limit from 60 pages to 100.)
With the departure of Brittany Pacini as our Film & Theatre editor, we’ve added two new editors to our board and shuffled things around a bit: Meridith Jackman is the new Music & Dance editor, Meagan Brady is the new Film editor, and Annie Mangelson has moved from Music & Dance to become the new Theatre editor.
Our special contest issue has taken longer to put together than we expected, by the way, but it will be coming out very soon. We hope to have information about our next contest as well.
So … the next issue will be coming out in October?
We’ll have a special contest issue coming out next month, and then yes, the next regular issue (#7) will come out in October. :)
“Effective next issue, we’re switching to a quarterly frequency . . .”
Won’t someone think of the catalogers?! (I’m kidding. Mostly. Change in frequency isn’t really that hard to deal with, but if you change the name of the magazine for one issue, then merge with another magazine, I’m going to bring the wrath of all beleaguered serials catalogers on your head. Consider yourself warned.)
Could someone please tell me when the contest issue is coming out? I thought it was coming out in September.
S.E.: We’re behind, sadly, but we’re aiming to have the contest issue out within the next two weeks. Sorry!
