Ohio State's literary arts magazine - Mosaic Magazine - just officially ended their 2007-08 recruiting season on Friday, October 19th. I'm excited to report that I am a potential 07-08 staff member of the magazine, which features literary and art works from undergratuate students. A dilemma I faced while deciding to apply for staff is that staff members cannot submit work for the magazine, which is something I'd like to do, too. Not that I'm hoping for it to happen, but, if I don't get accepted as a staff member this year, I'll be able to submit art work.

The magazine staff is comprised of 3 sections - art, literary, and layout. Being that my future career goals consist of designing magazines, books, brochures and other printed media, I thought that being on layout staff would be a really good opportunity to work gain more experience, design-wise. I was on the staff of my high school's literary arts magazine and really enjoyed the creativity I was allowed to share during production.

This particular magazine is published once annually in the spring. Copies are available to all students for free. All undergraduate students are welcome and encouraged to submit works for consideration. Several rounds of submissions are taken in throughout the year. More information can be found on the magazine's website, or on their Facebook group.

I'll receive acceptance or rejection in the next 3 weeks, I believe! Wish me luck!
