What judges are saying

All seven finalists in the Best Blog contest are well beyond my expectations for students in the writing program. Each has a personal style, (not to mention correct syntax and spelling), and woos the reader with original content. Several are extremely personal, and several expose a passion. Some of you display a knack for writing dialogue.

I enjoyed all the stories I read and am impressed by both the writing and the look of Spine. My enthusiasm is tempered only by the realization that before long you will all be taking work from me.
— Tim Falconer
 
The design is welcoming and elegant, the photos punchy and the categories well defined, with cheeky headlines and lively content. I plan to dip in regularly.
