SPOKE(a)n(e) Magazine, Winter 2010

Unfortunately, I am no longer able to keep up with the magazine as a monthly publication. Since I didn't consider shutting it down as an option, I decided to move to a quarterly format.

For our Winter issue, we are featuring Spokane poet Mark Anderson. I have also started a new feature that I am very excited about. I am hoping to move the magazine in a more "by artists, for artists" format. Our After Words section is designed to host a variety of media. Short fiction, editorials, poems, photography and other visual art. I am even looking into using our beloved internet to move the magazine to a new level of visual and audio presentation. But, that's in the future. For now, sit back and enjoy.

Thank you for your continued support!

SPOKE(a)N(e) Magazine, Issue 19

House work...

Hey there SPOKE(a)N(e) fans!

I've come to the conclusion that I can't completely eliminate our coverage of First Friday. Yet, I still need to find a way of covering it and experiencing it that works for me. I have a plan for August and while I could tell you what it is, I feel that would be absolutely no fun for me. Stay tuned is all I can say.

Secondly, a huge thanks to Sara Habein for her work on getting an index of all the past issues put together. I've set it up on a page that can be accessed by clicking the Artists Index link on the right. Thanks again, Sara!

SPOKE(a)N(e) #18

Salutations good readers!

This month was a blur of starting a new job, and trying to wrestle PageMaker, which is what we use to layout the magazine, to the ground. A quick note about the pictures in the last few issues. From what I can tell, I'm doing everything the same. I've messed around with DPI in Photoshop and it doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere. They just don't look right, and I can't figure out why. By next month, I should have it sorted out.

On to the content...

We tried something different this month.
