Hi Everyone!

Maya will be holding a release party for our 2010 issue the 4th week of fall term. Our new editors this year are Kerri Sullivan, Editor-in-Chief, and Tina Walsh, Managing Editor. We’ve got a lot of new plans for this year, including our new Cover Contest and big events for each term. Be sure to also see our new Facebook fan page and Like us! Let us know of any suggestions you have for us this year- we’re excited to start receiving pieces from our authors and artists!

OMG another “Haiku Off”!?!
Maya, Drexel’s undergrad literary magazine, is hosting a follow-up to our hugely successful “Haiku Off” and it will be co-hosted by the Drexel Players.
Winning haikuists will win fame and notoriety, and the winning haikus will be published in our 2010 issue.
The logistics of the “Haiku Off” are as follows: There will be three rounds during which contestants may write one poem a piece. Each round will be themed (top secret until the day of the event!) and contestants will have 10 minutes to scribe their haiku masterpiece. After 10 minutes, haikus will be collected and read aloud, identified by number (thus the reading is blind to avoid bias). A panel of judges will then pick their favorite haiku and the winners will be revealed! There will be a 10-minute break between rounds.
Maya will be holding the event at Ross Commons (2nd Floor), February 10th, at 7:00pm. Free Food and Beverages!
Maya will also be announcing and rewarding the winners of our 2nd annual writing contest.

On October 9th 2009, Jordan Schilling (editor-in-chief) represented Maya at the ’09 Mid-Atlantic Student Magazine Conference held at Ocean College, NJ. Jordan gave a presentation on his research in media/publications as pedagogical tools in higher education. His work on Maya, Painted Bride Quarterly, and Drexel Publishing Group inspired this research project.
