Editors' Letter

July 15, 2008

Welcome to our last issue of Calliope here on our Jimdo blogging site. In August we plan to launch our very own website, complete with interactive user forums - where our users can create profiles, participate in discussion boards and leave live comments - and more exciting new features.

We are constantly blown away by some of the writing we are sent, and this month has been no exception. But we've decided to do something a little different for July, by releasing a special Editors Edition. It's a little bit more compact than other issues, as there are just the three editors, but please read the pieces, comment on them, and use them as a chance to get to know us better. 

The novel race is continuing of course, and this month we have unveiled - as a little teaser of things to come on the new website - the VIP Writers section, which we are very excited about. It's basically a way for us to thank our loyal writers, and give our readers a chance to get to know them better. This month is all about Luigi Marchini, complete with an interview and photo! Yes, we are aware that Calliope is somewhat lacking in the awesome computer graphics department, so a photo IS something to be excited about for now...!

So have a fabulous summer, and we will be back before it's over with a new site, a new look, and some new writers (and hopefully some new readers - tell your friends!).

As ever - happy reading!
