This, of course, means that it's time for a new call for staff members, new and old, to converge and set our evil master plans for 2011-2012. Have you been interested in joining the staff? Do you want to know more about how Parnassus works? Or are you an old-timer returning to the fold? We're ready to receive you! Our first meeing of the semester will be:

Spring Parnassus Submissions are Open!
Parnassus is ready and waiting for the FINAL submission deadline for the upcoming 2011 issue, to be printed in May! As always, we're looking for your best fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, as well as your artwork or photography for consideration of publication. We had a great drive in the fall, and we received some amazing work from NECC students, but we always need more great stuff from you, so please send it our way as soon as you can!
Note that this semester we have two separate deadlines, one for writing (Friday, March 11th), and one for ONLINE art/photo submissions (Tuesday, March 22nd). More info can be found in the Contributions Section of the website.

Spring Semester - The Return of Parnassus!
Happy New Year from Parnassus! We hope you had a great break and that your spring semester has started up well. Despite the massive amounts of snow we've gotten, Parnassus is ready to wake up from our hibernation and get to the final work on our 2011 issue. To pull this off, we need you, the attentive, creative NECC student to jump in - it's time again for our twice-yearly call for new staff members! Joining Parnassus is a ton of fun, and the commitment is very low - we meet about five times or so over the semester to go over ideas for the book, fundraising, layout and design ideas, and, of course, to dig into and choose from the many submissions we receive each semester for consideration of publishing in our fancy little book. Spring semester is when we actually publish Parnassus, so it's a bit more intense than the fall, but it's also a ton more fun, as we finalize everything about our fantastic little publication before we set it free to leave the nest and join the world of literary magazine fame. We hope you'll come by for our first meeting to check it all out:
Wednesday, February 9th, 12-1 pm, C203
If you'd like more information, please email faculty advisor Patrick Lochelt: plochelt@necc.mass.edu. We hope to see you there!
