Forgive Me!

Folks,

What can I say, I’m busy. I used to put the new Burnside issue up at around 11:25 PST, and it would be all ready to go and shiny and new.

Anymore, it’s difficult finding the time to work on this site. Not that the site needs me all that much…we’ve got so many great contributors and the editors of each section things run as smoothly as they can in my absence. Still, I’m the one who has to post the articles early Monday morning, and I’m not even getting off my day job until 11:15.

I hope I’m not being whiny…being the editor-in-chief of this webmagazine is an utter joy, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I guess I’d want more time, but don’t we all?

Here are some things I want to say:

1) If you’ve sent in an article and we haven’t responded, please be patient. We are honestly working to read all of your contributions and respond to each one in kind. Thank you for your patience so far!

2) If you are a contributor and you are not listed on our contributor page, please send an email to reviews@burnsidewriterscollective.com with your short bio and the work “BIO” in the subject heading. We want to give you credit for adding to this ever-growing community.

3) Burnside is growing steadily, and the whole operation can sometimes seem over our heads. If you feel you’d like to help out with the site, or have an idea to spread the word about the Collective, we’d like to know. Please email me your ideas or offerings of assistance to jordangreen @ gmail.com (I’m not linking to that because I don’t want a ton of junk mail at that address). In particular, we’d like to hear your ideas on publicity, web knowledge and attracting advertisers. If you want to be involved, we’d like to find a way to include you.

4) The Burnside Blog typically provides daily musings and rants. We’re having a lot of fun with the simplicity of blogging. My dad likes the blog more than the site, even, but I think it’s because we don’t seem quite as leftist when we’re commenting on YouTube videos. The point is, check the blog out.

Thanks, as always, for reading. We can’t express how honored we are to have you read our words and to expand this wonderful little community on the outskirts of American Christianity.

Sincerely,
Jordan Green
Editor-In-Chief
