Letter From The Editor
Dear Reader,Throughout my time on staff at Windfall, I have seen its growth firsthand. Our production run has grown by two hundred copies, the number of active members has doubled, and I believe that the magazine is more well-known now than in years past. I am honored to have been called Editor-in-Chief and am grateful to have worked alongside such a dedicated staff. It is my most sincere hope that this year’s edition will stoke interest in the talented authors, artists, and editors here at Truman State University.
It would be impossible to create this year’s issue without the time and assistance of the staff and faculty in the English department. I would like to thank Dr. Priscilla Riggle, whose continued support has assured Windfall’s ability to showcase the talents of Truman students. I would also like to give a special thank you to our adviser, Dr. James D’Agostino, for his effort and resourcefulness. His guidance has played an integral part in the direction that Windfall is heading.
I would also like to thank the staff. Without the devoted members who have spent countless Monday nights evaluating student submissions, this issue would have never reached publication. In particular, I must thank my Assistant Editor, Jessica Kline, who tracked and managed the selection process that we use. Out of all the Windfall staff, the design committee has invested dozens of hours into the actual layout and formatting of the issue, most notably Design Editor Liz Zerkel and Laura Wellington. Their contribution has helped shape this issue into the book that is now in your hands.
Lastly, I would like to thank all those who submitted their work to the magazine. Despite receiving hundreds of submissions, Windfall can only present a few of the creative minds that Truman has to offer. And most of all, thank you, the one who is now reading the thirty-second edition of Windfall Magazine. It is to be read, thought over, and most of all, enjoyed.
Sincerely,
Daniel West
Editor-in-Chief
