Peter Byhouwer, Literary Magazine Coordinator

Hello, my name is Peter Byhouwer. I am a senior and this is my second year as a member of the Wildezine staff.  In addition to serving on the Wildezine Editorial Board, I am the Coordinator of the Literary Magazine portion of the Wildezine newspaper. The Lit Mag is a section of the Wildezine newspaper where students  are able to send in narratives, poems, and other writings and even drawings, and have a chance to have then showcased in the Wildezine. My role as Coordinator is to lead the discussions on pieces that students have submitted and work with the students to help edit them. My favorite topics to write about are opinion pieces and local news. Also we love it when people submit pieces to the Lit Mag so I encourage everyone to do so. If you have any questions about the Wildezine or the Lit Mag feel free to email me, my email is peter.byhouwer@ssfs.org
