SCR Update #3 – The Sand Canyon Review Mentioned in The Press-Enterprise


Hello, fans of The Sand Canyon Review! My name is David, and our magazine just got mentioned in Southern California newspaper, Press-Enterprise (http://www.pe.com/), by writer, Jennifer Whitaker. For the article, go to

http://www.pe.com/localnews/sbcounty/stories/PE_News_Local_N_nsubmissions15.7294e5.html or read on.

I’d like to thank both the newspaper and Mrs. Whitaker for writing an article about The Sand Canyon Review. We take pride in the magazine, and we’d love to see more submissions from students of all ages as well as the community at large. I think this will be a big step in getting both groups to submit.

Since the Press-Enterprise is keeping with the times of New Media, it has made the article available online as well in their January 15th edition of the paper. This allows readers from everywhere interested in writing, art, and photography to learn about The Sand Canyon Review, giving us possible submitters from places that might not have heard about us otherwise.

I’ve taken up enough of your time though. Please do read on for the article. And have a great week, everyone.

PAM DONAHUE - EDITORIAL DIRECTOR, SHORT STORY
Pam Donahue lives in Southern California with her handsome husband of thirty years, two great sons, and their zoo-slitherers, swimmers, perchers, and rugs that bark. Writing and reading are her passions. Returning to college at a later age has brought about an unusual unwinding of her life experiences.


ZARA BRETT - EDITORIAL DIRECTOR, POETRY
Zara is a modern-day Alice, living in her own little Wonderland.  “She paints her roses red” through abstract literature and art, chasing her dreams as if they were white rabbits.  Her ambition is to be a curator and preserver of history, which has become a vessel of inspiring motivation. She has “grown” from literature; was President of the English Club, awarded the Student Recognition Award for Humanities, and will be obtaining her Associates in English.


MANNY LOPEZ - ART DIRECTOR
Manny Lopez is a Southern California based artist, whose sometimes-controversial work ranges from photography to mixed media. His main work is in the visual arts, as well as written works which have been published in various academic journals. Manny's artwork has also been showcased to raise funds for AIDS related charities, which he holds dear. He can often be found with Eric Northman, as he reads the latest Sookie Stackhouse novel.


DESIREE REED - GRAPHIC DESIGN DIRECTOR
Desiree remembers the arts and crafts her mom shared with her in her past. Since elementary school, Desiree decided to fulfill her dream of being an artist. Although she can be shy, she has an open-minded heart. She works with mixed media, painting, drawing, and graphic design with a goal of continuing school and becoming a great graphic designer.

DAVID DYSART - PUBLIC RELATIONS DIRECTOR
David Dysart, the new Public Relations Director, is a supporter of New Media and the possibilities it holds for future editions of the magazine. He looks forward to getting The Sand Canyon Review the broad readership that it deserves and creating a Public Relations Group that can get it there.
