Announcements: Changes in the Wind

otto is about to undergo some major changes in its life:  A totally new and exciting format that will include color graphics of original art and photography, and a whole new concept in presentation.  It will also be changing to an annual issue, and will be making its debut in all its new glory in April, 2007. 

We're excited about this growth and the new staff that will expand it to bring out its fullest potential!

Updates will be forthcoming.

Hot Off the Press!

Can't Hold the Presses!

otto #3 has been "put to bed" I believe they say; meaning it's at the printer's. 

This is an exciting issue in content.  We have some great fiction and poetry, but we have a couple of new hypertext ideas presented and some terrific original artwork. 

otto will be undergoing some major changes and growth by the Fall/Winter 2006 issue.  With an increase in staff, full color printing capabilities, expansion into the narrative of graphic images both reproduced original and computer-generated, and a growing pool of resources in talent we will see quite a change in format and circulation.  As otto matures into an adult version of cultural and informational adventure, its proud parents look back to its conception and try to imagine just what the infusion of technology and creative forces will produce.

In the meantime, check back for some taste of otto #3 in an upcoming post.

Change of Plans

Great news!  While the plans for the reinvention of otto into a slicker looking magazine that will add in coverage of arts and sciences to the literary format, it seems wise to meet deadline with an April 5th issue while the time needed to form a team and work on changes are in progress.

So get those stories, poems, essays (see guidelines) in ASAP if you want to be included in the Spring/Summer issue of otto #3!  But we're working with a real tight deadline, so please e-mail at least your intentions of submission to help us plan it out.  Thanks--we look forward to publishing your work!

Announcements: Production Meeting

There will be a meeting of those interested in developing the potential of otto by serving on the editorial staff, scheduled for Thursday, February 23rd at 2:30 in the Tunxis CC cafeteria.

It was decided to gear the Spring/Summer issue towards the capabilities of the new color printer, and therefore, otto #3 will not be available for the Writers Festival in April, but will hopefully be published soon after.
