The Scribe ® is looking for experienced arts journalists to cover visual arts, creative communities, and cultural development across Ohio. We’re interested in writers who can dig deeper than event coverage, who understand the difference between journalism and promotion, and who can make arts infrastructure and creative practice accessible to general readers. We cover community impact, local history, art education, civic arts systems, wellness through creativity, and cultural perspectives. If you have clips that demonstrate reporting skills and a commitment to balanced, source-driven journalism, we want to hear from you.

My hotspot was not strong enough to download what I needed to start. My deadline is in 4 days! Tomorrow I’ll go to the library. At least they have strong Wi-Fi and won’t make me want to throw my laptop. I went to write my book today and now I’m sitting here looking at a blank screen. Looking at my last book in the series, I know this one will be even better, but the tem- plate wouldn’t open and I want to throw my laptop. I guess I’ll try again tomorrow. I’ve already written my book, in Cliff notes and small post and notes that I have stuck on my door, I just have to put it in manuscript form and add the storyboarding. I want to write my book today, but I guess I’ll write a poem. I’m being cock blocked by technology, but at least these words are free-flowing. ~ Jodie Summers Poetry Corner House of Lief - houseoflief.com Letter From the Editor In this issue of The Scribe, I wanted to formally (re)introduce myself to new readers so you can see who is steering the ship. Each issue, Dylan and I work to balance features and arts news within 16 pages. This isn’t easy when you consider Ohio’s size and the challenge of fitting comprehensive coverage into one publication. The Scribe operates outside of traditional connections and is entirely volunteer and independent. W arts coverage through The Brief and The Bulletin. The Brief contains many recent Ohio arts news headlines, while The Bulletin presents a selection of arts opportunities across the state. This issue brings back submitted comics and poetry, and we’re looking to incorporate more creative writing and long-form arts content. Future issues will include in-depth arts research, following the trail of unwritten stories and historical connections in Ohio. Please enjoy and send any feedback to us!
