Event organizer David Holper, a CR English Professor, credits the magazine's high caliber to student editors who make all the selections, as well as help organize the event, coach writers and keep the magazine afloat.  This semester's editors include Wendy Hnilo, J. Franklin Turner, Nicholas Wilczewski, and Saje Wolf.

Authors who will read this semester include Diane Elizabeth Caudillo, Elaina Erola, Wendy Hnilo, Daniel Nickerson, Catherine Peacock, Heather Quarles, Tana Reynolds, Caitlyn Still, J. Franklin Turner, Josue Valdez, Lynne Wells, Nick Wilczewski, and Saje Wolf.  These authors include students, staff, and community members. 

The first place poem and the first place story will receive prizes of $100 each, sponsored by the College of the Redwoods Foundation; second place winners will receive $25 prizes from sponsors Booklegger Books and Northtown Books.  In addition, the poem or story that best bridges between cultures, genders, people group, or species, as determined by the judges, will be awarded the Hobson Award of $250 (sponsored by an anonymous donor and the CR Foundation). 

The event is free and open to the public. Booklets of all the accepted work and honorable mentions will be available.  Refreshments will also be available for sale.
