FROM THE PUBLISHER -
This edition of the 826 Quarterly contains fiction, non-fiction, and poetry written by authors ages 6-18. The pieces are selected from all the 826 programs (drop-in tutoring, workshops, in-schools, projects, field trips) and at-large submissions. Pieces are chosen in a traditional literary journal style by an editorial board comprised of students and volunteer tutors. This issue includes a hard-hitting investigation into what one 11 year old writer calls "the hipster epidemic," poetry about real ships that are sunken under the streets of San Francisco, introspective personal essays on group identity, and short fiction about zoo animals who learn to embrace democracy. It's a wild ride with something to make readers of all ages smile and think. 1st trade appearance of work by Zora Rosenberg - ‘Siren’s Call’, excerpt of the unpublished short story by the same name.
Zora Rosenberg was born and raised in San Francisco. She is a graduate of Mills College (Creative Writing) and is presently a pre-school teacher. Zora enjoys wearing pajamas and stomping around the house. She cringes when encountering hipsters and aspires to be a working class hero.
