We are excited to launch our new school year with new staff members and fresh ideas for this semester! For our first issue, which will be released on September 27th, we are exploring the first of four elements: Earth. We have decided to showcase this element through our first issue "Drought."

Drought: a prolonged period of time of abnormally low rainfall; a prolonged absence of a certain thing; thirst.

We can't wait to see your ideas on "Drought" or other kinds of famine you have encountered. Whether is a mind dry of ideas, a deep longing for faithfulness, or a wasteland, we have all experienced a form of drought in our lives. Our writers are already hard at work on our first theme to show you the devastation a drought brings and the relief we feel when that thirst is finally quenched.

If you would like to submit your own work for this issue, please follow the instructions on our Submissions page. Be sure to submit your work by Friday, September 13th.
