Forty-four (44) student writers and artists were recently honored by Northwest Florida State College with selection of their work for inclusion in the 2013 Blackwater Review – a college publication which encourages student writing, art, and creative life by providing a showcase for meritorious work.
All content in the college’s annual literary and artistic journal is produced by NWFSC students.
The competitive selection process drew 340 entries of writing and art this year. The 2013 issue of the Blackwater Review journal is available for purchase for $5 in the college bookstores on the Niceville and Fort Walton Beach campuses.
Recognized for selection of her work to appear on the cover of the journal was Louann Brechler of Niceville (shown in attached photo), for her work “Athena’s Ear.” Brechler was also awarded the Blackwater Review Editors’ Prize for art.
