Happy Birthday Word Catalyst!

Shirley AllardWith this issue, Word Catalyst Magazine celebrates its first year of online publishing. Congratulations to us!

Meanwhile, making selections for our first anniversary chapbook has proven to be one of the most difficult tasks I've ever undertaken. In a perfect world it would be possible to include everyone who submitted throughout the year but my budget says this is not a perfect world. If your work is included it is because I personally, as the editor, feel that the quality of work you submitted is worthy of further promotion. My choices were based solely on material submitted to Word Catalyst.
