Writing. It\u2019s not a hobby, it\u2019s a lifestyle, and for many, a livelihood.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students might find themselves wandering into the world of creative craft, intrigued by its pull of endless possibilities. For any LVC college student looking to pursue a creative career, the \u201cGreen Blotter\u201d literary magazine is the perfect place to start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGreen Blotter <\/em>provided me with an opportunity to gain valuable career experience in publishing and editing without even leaving campus,\u201d Lauren Walters, a senior English and creative writing double major, said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1933, \u201cGreen Blotter\u201d is LVC\u2019s student-run literary magazine that seeks to provide a space to publicize the creative works of undergraduate students, in the areas of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction and the visual arts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participation provides students with the opportunity to attain real-life experience in professional areas inclusive of publishing, advertising, editorial work and web design, all skills that make for an outstanding resume. However, there is more to the magazine than just another gold star on a r\u00e9sum\u00e9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJoining Green Blotter means working with a team of passionate and dedicated students to produce a physical product,\u201d Walters said. “It’s such an enriching experience to work on something you\u2019re passionate about with a group of people who share that passion and then finally be able to have a tangible representation of this, the published magazine, at the end of the year.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The literary magazine not only presents students with a hands-on work environment, but also a close-knit literary community consisting of peers with equal interests. The majority of the content building process is student led, with current LVC undergraduates manning the editorial positions, ensuring that all student voices are heard and considered for every decision.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
