Jacksonville Magazine Hosts JaxbyJax

JACKSONVILLE-the-mag-NEFL

 

We are very excited to announce the return of Jacksonville Magazine as a venue hosting writers for JaxbyJax V on Saturday, October 13 from 3-6 PM.

Here is how they describe themselves on their website:

“Produced by the city’s best magazine editors, writers and photographers, Jacksonville Magazine publications—including Jacksonville, 904, Bride, YourHealth, Home and Taste—offer timeless, well-written features and resources to help readers locate their lifestyle-driven needs. Jacksonville Magazine titles reach upscale, affluent and educated readers throughout Northeast Florida, from St. Augustine to Amelia Island and every community in between.”

 

The Student Showcase Welcomes Lewis Wohlman to JaxbyJax

Lewis Wohlman

 

Lewis Wohlman is a U.S. Navy veteran who found his love for writing in a rhetoric class. He is a recent graduate from UNF with a major in psychology and a minor in creative writing. Lewis decided to leave his promising career of psychology to instead make art, like a responsible adult. He now lives in Virginia waiting for his shot at graduate school to receive an MFA. Until then he tells stories to locals about the big life outside of his small town.

We look forward to hearing Lewis read on Saturday at 1:30 – 2:30 at Women Writing for a Change, 1610 Osceola Street, during the JaxbyJax Student Showcase.

 

 

Dag Rassmus Schultz to Read at JaxbyJax Student Showcase

DagBioPicjax

 

Dag (spelled that way; pronounced like the animal) says he is half-Norwegian half-American. He’s lived most of his life in Norway and has come to the United States to pursue an education in English and creative writing. “My life philosophy is that if I leave at least one more smile in the world when I die than when I was born, I lived a good life. Unfortunately, most of my humor is puns so I mostly just leave roomfuls of groans.  I enjoy avoiding long walks on the beach, love to read a good book or watch a bad movie, and positively absolutely hate when people use the word ‘snickering’”.

He started writing when he was a young man of 13, and after a cringeworthy phase of terrible “Emo Poetry,” Dag decided that the world should suffer his half-baked creativity. To accomplish this, he dropped out of high school and worked for years as a chef, then hung up his hat when he realized that he was enjoying writing the menu descriptions more than cutting 800 potatoes an hour. A few trips across the pond and one hell of an essay later, here he is.

Some of Dag’s favorite words (in no particular order) are: Soil. Dirt. Bone. Teeth, fangs, sunder, crumble, thunder, almonds, tongue, skein, shriek, rasp, accel, soup, radish, green, eldritch, surrender, soak, veins, skew, vellum, leather, horse, thread, thimble, rumble, crescendo.

You can hear Dag read at the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival Student Showcase from 1:30 – 2:30 PM on Saturday, October 13th at Women Writing for a Change, 1610 Osceola Street.
