Bye Bye Butters

This Sunday we had our very last Soy Nut Butter meeting. It was bittersweet, to be sure.

As you may recall, Soy Nut Butter is the name of the Wren’s Nest Publishing Co.’s literary magazine created, edited, and awesomed by Atlanta-area teenagers. They created a pretty fantastic product, if I do say so myself, and my pride swelled to a peak as we engaged in the most awkward group hug of all time. Seriously. There was a countdown.

Because we here at the Wren’s Nest are devoted to science above all else, we knew we had to use a flawlessly scientific method to evaluate the Editors’ Wren’s Nest Publishing Co. experience.

Thus I give you our Editors and their Thumbs-Up or Thumbs-Down evaluation.

One thumbs-up! (Nice display, Megan. Very subtle.)

Egan, straight from the ballpark, brings us the second thumbs-up!

And Michael pulls the double! Watch out folks!

Cat, sticking with what we know, brings another Up to the table.

Editor Sallie* with a super thumbs up!

Austin’s thumbs-up is in your face, because that’s just how Austin rolls.

Our shyest Editor, Dina, with the Up.

Uber-Butter Terra is not giving the thumbs-up because a tree fell on her house, but because she loves Teen Literary Magazines, like all cool people.

Awkward group shot!

It’s been a great literary-fueled ride, this Soy Nut Butter, and I couldn’t have asked for better company along the way. I’m gonna miss these Butters, I am.

Oh! But before I forget, if you’re interested in purchasing a copy of Soy Nut Butter, shoot either Lain (lain@wrensnestonline.com) or me (amelia@wrensnestonline.com) an email and we’ll go from there, or send a check to the Wren’s Nest** specifying how many copies you would like ($5 a pop!) with your address. What service!

Thanks everyone, it’s been great.

* Sallie was felled by illness and could not make our final meeting, but this picture captures her finesse nicely.
