Wren’s Nest Publishing Co. Visits the Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Posted by: Amelia // Category: Storytelling, Atlanta, High School Hijinx, Decatur Book Festival, Wren's Nest Publishing Co. // 11:14 am

Welp, the title pretty much says it all.

Editors of Vernacular visit the AJC

Let’s do it this way:

  • Who: five of our six student editors from the Wren’s Nest Publishing Co., hangers-on.
  • What: a tour of the AJC, followed by a brief tutorial in inDesign.

Nancy from the AJC

(Nancy, our lovely tour guide.)

  • Where: the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, dummy.
  • When: why, just yesterday.
  • Why: um, because field trips are awesome, obviously.
  • How: We’ve got connections you wouldn’t believe.  Actually, you probably would.  Tom did it.

So all in all, a great day for our little program.

Though we have set a new goal for the Editors as result of our adventures: when asked things like “Where are you all from?”, ideal answers include things like “The Wren’s Nest Publishing Co.” or “A publishing program that’s a partnership between the Decatur Book Festival and The Wren’s Nest House Museum”.

Yesterday’s choice, looking at feet, was only okay.

Reminder: know any writers or artists between the ages of 12 and 18?

Get them to submit their work to submissions@wrensnestonline.com before July 20th!  Man alive, they could be published by summer’s end!
