...Although Judy Budnitz '95 was a VES and English concentrator, her most recent work and first novel, If I Told You Once, reads more like a disjointed Folklore and Mythology course text. Before embarking on the novel, she commented, "I have to outline it before I start, which kind of takes the fun out of it."

Drop off submissions...
...Dissent calls itself "the" literary magazine of Harvard; found only on the web, a new issue of all new content appears around the 7th of every month. Dissent features short stories, poetry, personal stories and nonfiction. Although Dissent does not currently publish much that couldn't be printed on paper, it does have the advantage of the accessibility of the Internet. Work can be submitted via the Dissent website...
