Local college faculty members create online outlet for fiction

KIRTLAND, Ohio – Faculty members at Lakeland Community College have 
created an online literary magazine that publishes original, high-quality 
short fiction and poetry. The first issue of the Chagrin River Review (
www.chagrinriverreview.com), features three works of fiction and seven 
poems that were selected from over 120 submissions, representing writers 
from as faraway as California and Maine.

“Taking a literary magazine to the Internet is a great way for us as 
educators to reach a larger audience,” said one of the Review’s editors, 
Angela Weaver, assistant professor of English at Lakeland.

Although, one goal of the project is to give emerging and established 
writers a platform where they can share their work with literary 
enthusiasts, another is to teach Lakeland students that they don’t need to 
be a household name to have work recognized.

“I hope my students will find encouragement for their own writing and 
communication ambitions as they read poems and stories from hardworking, 
accomplished writers,” said Weaver.

The authors featured in the Chagrin River Review include: Barbara Brooks 
(NC); Joan Colby (IL); James B. DeMonte (OH); Jéanpaul Ferro (RI); Sean 
Forbes (CT), William Greenway (OH); Susan Grimm (OH); Mercedes Lawry (WA); 
David Oestreich (OH), and Joann Smith (NY).

The Review is accepting submissions, regardless of theme, for its second 
issue, to be published in the spring 2013. The deadline to submit pieces 
for consideration is December 31, 2012. Submissions must be made online at

For general information, contact Angela Weaver at aweaver at lakelandcc.edu 
or 440-525-7719.
