From mai at compost.digital Thu Mar 25 01:37:48 2021 From: mai at compost.digital (Mai Ishikawa Sutton) Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2021 22:37:48 -0700 Subject: [COMPOST] COMPOST Issue 01 + Release Party Message-ID: Dear COMPOST Subscribers, It?s been a while! Here?s what we?ve been up to: We were *incredibly* busy through February and March pulling Issue 01 together, and were able to launch it by our (self-imposed) deadline of early March. We managed to edit and finalize nine works of writing and art, design a whole website, implement the designs, and get it out in the world -- all within 12 weeks. We couldn?t have pulled it off without the incredible team of editors, project managers, designers, and web developers that on our team. We hope you enjoyed Issue 01: Fertile Grounds -- we?re pretty dang proud of it. *~*~* ISSUE 01 RELEASE PARTY *~*~* We wanted to let you know about our Issue 01 Release Party this weekend!
