Still working hard…

Today the Bescene crew got together again, in the little room on the second floor of Flemingdon Health Center. (Thanks to everyone who came out–we had a full-house today! Yay!) We, together with the copious amount of food we munch through on a weekly basis, buckled down and got to work editing and revising our submissions.

After some debate about stylistic choices involving grammatical and spelling errors, the team tried to discuss and brainstorm ideas for the next issue. (For the readers out there who’re confused, the deadline has already passed for sending in submissions for our next issue, themed Gender)

On account of it being late and us being tired and also running out of food, we adjourned the meeting but not without a few very cool ideas for what our cover will look like for the upcoming issue.  It’s surprisingly difficult to put into pictures what “Gender” is, especially without it being cliché and off-putting to readers…and I think I speak for all of us when I say that we’d appreciate any input from our blog-readers out there who have ideas for us.  If you’ve got an idea, comment, or suggestion for our next issue and what you’d like to see, please don’t hesitate to drop us an email at bescenemag@gmail.com We like mail. Really.

In other news…Bescene magazine is branching out! A member of our editorial committee has managed to persuade a branch (Hillcrest) of the Toronto Public Library to put our magazine on display!  Our readers living in Hillcrest Village can feel free to drop by and take a look. In fact…we request new readers from Hillcrest to shout out to us, here! (Much appreciation and love goes to Quincy, a member of our team who, with his extensive persuasion skills and magnanimous munificence assisted us to better reach our Hillcrest Village readers!)

 

Keep watching out for updates!

A productive meeting!

It’s been a little while since our latest Resistance and Rebellion issue came off the printing presses, and the group is already waist-deep in discussion/revision/thought/conversation/ideas about our next issue. This one is themed Gender, and we’re hoping it’ll be out later on in the year, possibly in April or May.

Today at the meeting we got cracking at editing our submissions. Tough decisions were made, and little things will be changed, but overall the group is definitely content with the quantity/quality of our submitters’ work.  We honestly can’t wait until the next issue is out… and more updates will be shared shortly, as soon as information becomes available!

In the meantime, please don’t forget to check out our most recent issue–Resistance and Rebellion.  You can pick up your own at the Flemo health center, or you can access an electronic version here.

 

Thanks for following!
