THURSDAY JANUARY 24 MEETING FEATURES HIGH DESERT JOURNAL MANAGING EDITOR ELIZABETH QUINN
Central Oregon Writers Guild’s
Thursday January 24, 2013 meeting features a presentation by Elizabeth Quinn,
managing editor of the High Desert Journal. Elizabeth
grew up near Bend, where she rode the school bus back and forth on Highway 97
gazing east out of the shaky bus window wondering what kind of desert
lay beyond. She is still gazing but today from inside the desert. She started her career as a fiber artist at Skidmore
College in Saratoga Springs, New York. This career continues today as managing
editor of High Desert Journal, weaving together stories and images into layers
of place. She is bored when not creating, moving or reading. She works to find
balance in it all. And she loves her family fiercely.
High Desert Journal is a
literary and visual art magazine published in print and online dedicated to
further understanding the people, places and issues of the interior West. Its content helps define this region in literary and artistic terms, and represents a collection of work that that charts the changes of a distinctive, unique region. Published
twice a year, High Desert Journal invites submissions of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, memoirs, interviews, essays, book reviews, letters to the editor and visual art. It accepts work from residents of the region working with any theme and from anyone living outside the region creating work with high desert theme and elements.
