Congratulations to Professor Monica Peck and the writing consultants for the publication of the first issue of The Bolt, a new flash non-fiction magazine. Published by San Jose State University’s  Communication Center Writing Consultants, The Bolt features flash non-fiction: true stories in 250 words or less. Like a bolt of lightning, flash non-fiction is quick yet powerful, and leaves the reader wanting more.

On Tuesday, April 30, the Bolt’s launch party featured the announcement of The Bolt’s Spring 2013 Contest Winners and readings by authors.

Congratulations to all  the COMM students published in the inaugural issue: Hillary Stangel (3rd place), Kriselle Bulaoro, Amarissa Mathews, Morgan McKnight and Jason Steib and Alena VanDrielen.

Check out the great writing in The Bolt’s first issue here.

Also, consider submitting your own work: The Bolt invites writers to submit original pieces of non-fiction writing, 250 words or less, to be published in The Bolt in either our fall or spring issue. Details on the website.

Congratulations to Professor Peck, the Writing Consultants, and the COMM students published in The Bolt!
