A note on the event, provided by Anna Mendoza, co-organizer: "I would like to extend a warm thank you to our host college, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Kelly Writers House for providing a forum for creative students from campuses in and around Philadelphia to meet and expand the circumferences of formerly isolated literary circles. I would also like to thank all the professors and classmates who have come to listen to readings by their pupils and peers. None of us would have been able to reach this stage in our craft without your guidance and patience. Last of all, I would like to acknowledge the authors whose works are featured here, for being bold enough to share their writing within the greater literary community. By encouraging each other at this early stage in our lives, we can create a supportive network that will further each writer's confidence in his or her unique abilities."
