A New Beginning

The CU English Society desires to connect writers on Cornerstone’s campus both through the weekly meeting and through this blog. The blog provides an opportunity for aspiring authors to share their work, ideas or inspiration with other authors. All interested participants may post short stories, book reviews or any other thought provoking entries they would like and will be able to receive comments from their fellow writers.

I am very excited about this blog and the many possibilities that it has to offer. Though there is one thing missing: a good title. The CU English Society Writing Group is both wordy and boring. Through the months of September and October we will be taking suggestions for an alternative title for both this blog (the site address will not change though, I promise) and for the actual Writing Group. If we have enough contributions than by mid-October we may hold an election for the best possible name.

The English Society also hopes to publish a literary magazine each semester. In previous years Cornerstone University had a literary magazine but it was discontinued, largely because of the small number of contributors. We are hopeful that Cornerstone University is now capable of maintaining a literary magazine. Beginning in September and continuing through November, the English Society will be accepting submissions from students, alumni, and staff.

Of course, poetry also has a home here.
