The spring issue of Wooster came out this week, complete with my feature story on the history of the main library on campus. Its arrival is a little bittersweet, since it’s the last one I’ll have contributed to as a staff member. (Well, except for one more piece I’ve been working on—but that won’t be published until later this year, long after I’ve graduated.) Looking back on my three years as Wooster’s editorial assistant, I’m amazed at how much the opportunity has helped me grow as a writer. My first weeks on staff, my primary responsibilities consisted of checking and rechecking endless pages of copy to be sure no one’s name got spelled wrong. Back then, I never thought I’d be writing features, but with a little perseverance (and lot of guidance from my editor), well, here I am. I can’t imagine a better debut into the world of magazine publishing. It’s been a wonderful journey, and I’m looking forward to the next step.
