So I've decided to liven up the blog a little and post more things than just highlights and updates. We are all here for publishing, so let's get some publishing news and topics on this page. Here's a link to an article on Publisher's Weekly's website talking about the bestseller culture: http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/columns-and-blogs/soapbox/article/64583-the-advent-of-a-bestseller.html
What do you guys think? What impact will this bestseller culture have on you down the road?

Reviews Day!! Our two lovely Reviews Editors, Alyssa and Megan, held a workshop/reviews fair a few weeks ago. They presented five magazines or journals: The Peel, Helix Magazine, The York Review, Tahoma West, and Pamplemousee. For the people who opted to do a review, don't forget that they're due in a few weeks!!

  

 Hey everybody! Welcome back to campus! Our Ice Cream Social this year was a huge success! There was beautiful weather (thank goodness not a repeat of last year), yummy ice cream, and a lot of fun people came! Let's keep this FUSE tradition alive for as long as we can!

Hey there Fusians, as you know this past week was out last meeting together for this year.  Everyone gathered around in a giant circle and discussed future ideas for F.U.S.E and read their reviews of certain literary magazines.  It has been a great time working with everyone here!

Hey Fusians,

At last week's meeting our very own Professor, Karla Kelsey came in to talk to us about the business and technical aspects of the publishing and editing world.  She also talked about her working experience out of college to present day.  It was great having her talk to the F.U.S.E committee, and it was a pleasure!  Thanks Karla!

Hey there Fusions!  At last weeks meeting Karla was unable to make it due to scheduling conflicts on Wednesdays.  (She was going to come in for a bit and talk about publishing and editing)  The next week, the meeting time for FUSE will be at 4:15PM.  ALSO -- there will be a Genre wars event on April 27th on Sunday at 1pm @ the practice field behind the Writers House! Come on down!
