Dear Friends,
It’s been just over a year since we first started planning South85. In that time, there have been countless hours of designing, reading, organizing, and coordinating. One person does not make a journal. There are editors, admin, and someone willing to do whole lot of programming. And don’t forget the weekly blog entries, which we hope kept you entertained until the arrival of our inaugural issue. Of course, none of us would have anything to edit or program, if it weren’t for talented writers willing to trust us with their fine work. South85 has been blessed with the work of such talented and established writers, and a few are already lined up for our next issue.
While it’s tempting to sit back and enjoy this moment of accomplishment, there simply isn’t time. There are many more submissions waiting to be read. Our Fall 2012 issue won’t edit itself. For all of you who have submitted to our literary enterprise, we thank you. Until next time, keep reading and writing, and enjoy our little offering.
Sarah Gray
Editor
