We hope you've all had an excellent summer break this year, and hopefully you've all had a chance to work on some excellent art or writing to contribute to the upcoming 2011 Parnassus, which will be getting underway very soon! We're looking forward to getting yet another amazing edition of our little book started up once more, and we hope you are, too. We'll be putting up flyers near the beginning of the fall semester to advertise for new (and old alike) staff members to our first meeting of the year, which will likely be the second or third week of the semester. More information will be posted here, as well. If you're interested, please do come, or feel free to email us for more information.

The staff has convened, and our final picks for the 2010 issue of Parnassus have been made. Thanks so much to everyone who submitted this semester, and over the entire year as well. We have contacted everyone who was accepted this year, so if you submitted and did not hear from us, your work was passed over this time. As always, we hope everyone will submit again the next time we have a submission deadline in November. We always appreciate as many submissions as possible. 
Our crazy posters are back up in the halls of NECC once more, and the submission box has crawled out of its winter hibernation; it's the last chance for Parnassus 2010 submissions! Our deadline this semester is Monday, March 22nd, which is the Monday following spring break. Any active NECC students are welcome to submit as much short fiction, poetry, creative non fiction, art, or photography in consideration for publishing in the 2010 Parnassus. If you didn't already know, Parnassus is currently in the top ten of all collegiate literary arts magazines, and we're first place in the East as well - this is a great resume piece and something to be really proud of, and this is your last chance to have your work considered for our next issue. Submit today!
Winter has fallen upon New England, and Parnassus has gone into temporary hibernation. Our fall submissions process went well; we've contacted all of those who were accepted. Despite the great submissions in the fall, we will definitely be in need of many more submissions in the spring to make the 2010 edition the best it can be. Keep an eye around campus and here online for information on our upcoming spring submission drive. 
The American Scholastic Press Association has recently announced that the 2009 edition of Parnassus is the winner of the First Place with Merit prize in their annual and national literary magazine
awards competition, an award our 2008 edition won as well. With yet another prestigious honor for our 2009 edition, we are very proud to have been chosen for this great award among some of the best literary magazines in the nation for 2009.
