Acknowledgments

We must thank every single person who put their hard work into the magazine. The fruit of their labor, the magazine that you hold in your hands, could not have been produced without the exact, unique people we had on the team this semester. We are thankful for their experiences and knowledge, innovations, and ambitions that have helped the magazine grow as we work to rebuild and strengthen it.

Thank you in particular to:

-Emma Geer for eagerly taking on the job of Creative Director and organizing the Spring 2023 magazine, after the departure of the position’s veteran, Hannah (they are studying abroad).

-Emma DiValentino who was undeterred by the challenge of creating a new website to better showcase blog writers and make the work easier for future blog teams. Check it out: amlitmagazine.com

-Hope Jorgensen for spearheading the copy team with their expertise, and for welcoming in a co-editor who had not worked in the field before.

We thank everyone for their patience with the new editors-inchief as they learned the ropes and learned how to communicate with a large team of varying experience. In private we might even joke that this magazine is dedicated in honor of the lost emails, trapped in spam mailboxes.

And of course, thank you to the writers, photographers and artists who had the courage to submit to the magazine. We admire your vulnerability to put your work out there for others to enjoy and connect with. Even those whose pieces were not accepted into the magazine, we appreciate you and hope that you will submit more work in the future. No matter how small you feel like your part in AmLit may have been, it was well worth it for the creation you hold in your hands now.
