Congratulations again Bridget!  What an excellent choice in  appointing 
you!  I see where you'd like to take Slate & Style and I am  applauding....
 
I'm still working on figuring out what creative non-fiction  is...)  One 
day I'll get it,  I hope!
 
Congratulations again...

Hello  everyone,

I hope the New Year finds us eager to enjoy what 2011 will  bring us.  I
am honored and excited to be appointed the new  editor-in-chief for The
Slate & Style.  With your support and  help, I hope to produce a quality
and professional publication.

I am  from Omaha, Nebraska and recently celebrated my fith wedding
anniversary  with my husband, Ross.  I am a senior at the University of
Nebraska in  Omaha , and I will graduate this year with a BFA in creative
writing.   My emphasis is in creative nonfiction, but I have also
followed the fiction  tract as well in the program.  I have been the
editor-in-chief for the  Nebraska Independent, a Nebraska affiliate
newsletter, for two years  now.  I also write a bi-weekly blog for Live
Well Nebraska, an Omaha  World Herald website.  I am currently working on
a full length  manuscript for both creative nonfiction and fiction.

We are attempting  to give the Slate and Style a facelift--incorporating
the foundations of  the publication with a fresh perspective.  I would
like to see a mix  of literature pieces along with pieces that address
writing--technical  aspects, style and structure, genre--essentially the
"how-tos" of  writing.

I hope to gather a core of consistent contributors as well as  assistant
editors dedicated to producing the best publication we can.   Many of us
have a lot to offer, and if we combine our efforts, I know we  can
generate a publication that extends beyond the division and  the
Federation.

We are specifically looking for the following at  this point:

We require a poetry editor who is knowledgeable on style  and form.
Those interested must possess an understanding of grammar, but  also an
understanding of the structure of poetry.  

We will  also require at least one assistant editor to help with the
editing  process.  Those interested must possess an understanding of
grammar  and style.

We will also require a layout editor to assist with the  structure and
design of the publication.

And of course, we will  require your submissions!  All submissions are
welcome and will be  considered for publication.  Suggestions and
comments are encouraged  as well.

The Slate & Style is the face of the Writer's Division and  the Stylist
list serve.  Articles must reflect our best effort.   Please proofread
and edit your own material before sending.  Our  collective voice has
much to say, and I hope to strengthen that  voice.

Sincerely,
Bridgit  Kuenning-Pollpeter
