 At last year's Decatur Book Festival, the Wren's Nest Publishing Co. released Soy Nut Butter: Delicious, Nutritious, Fictitious, a literary magazine produced completely by Atlanta-area teenagers. Soy Nut Butter was a first time collaboration between the Decatur Book Festival, the Wren's Nest Publishing Co, and teenagers from the Atlanta area.
Here's how it happened—seven high school students gathered at the Wren's Nest throughout the summer to solicit, collect, edit, and publish submissions from a wide pool of high school students throughout the metro area. With a little help from the likes of Paste Magazine, the AJC, Lenz Marketing, and Hollis Gillespie, the student editors rolled up their sleeves and churned out one heck of a magazine.
We officially kicked off Soy Nut Butter--a Teen Literary Salon on Saturday night, where select authors had a chance to read from their work. Like Soy Nut Butter itself, the Salon was completely produced by high school students. We had live music and free food through generous contributions from The Chocolate Bar, Mediterranean Grill, Roly Poly and Feast.
In case you couldn't make it to the DBF, pick up your copy of Soy Nut Butter at the Wren's Nest. They're $1, and proceeds will support the future of the Wren's Nest Publishing Co, the publishing arm of the totally awesome 501(c)(3), Wren's Nest House Museum.
