Chrysalis Teaches Students About Editing & Publishing
Earlier this semester EPCC released the latest issue of Chrysalis, a bilingual literary and arts journal. This journal, which is published annually, is a project of EPCC students in collaboration with the English discipline. The current issue has 57 original works which were contributed by EPCC students, faculty, staff and some community members. Additionally, the issue also includes the poems of top three student winners of the 2022 Hector Padilla Literary Contest.
Chrysalis offers a venue for aspiring and consolidated writers and artists to share their work. Copies of the journal can be found at all five EPCC campus libraries and online. Minerva Laveaga English Professor says it's very rewarding to mentor and train students as the Faculty Advisor for Chrysalis. She says working on the journal gives students an opportunity to learn firsthand about the editing and publishing process in a professional setting. “EPCC students, staff, and faculty see their work published side by side on Chrysalis' pages, which encourages community and support within the college," Laveaga said.
Student editors review and select each piece included in Chrysalis. In the fall semester, student editors read submissions and solicit submissions for the next edition. Each spring, editors make decisions for publication, assist with editing and create the journal's layout. As you read this, the editors are working on the 2023 issue which will be released next fall. Chrysalis accepts submissions all year with a December 31st deadline for the following year's publication.
The Managing Editor for the 2022 issue is Denise Sáenz; Fiction Editors are Anastasia Ortiz and Alex Ureno; Nonfiction Editor is Natalaia Arreola; Poetry Editors are Crystal Lopez-Russell and Denise Sáenz; Spanish Editors are Natalia Arreola and Anastasia Ortiz. The Faculty Advisor is Miverva Laveaga Luna, English Professor with the support of members of the English Discipline including Jorge Gomez, Caroline Woolf Gurley, Charlie Miller, Gris Muñoz, Richard Marrufo, Belia B. Ramirez, Yasmín Ramirez, Arturo Valdespino and Richard Yañez.
