Letter from the Editors

Human potential. A powerful phrase that can mean many things. We, at Reader's Feed, believe it starts at a young age. We believe in an opportunity for a voice; a chance for our peers to give their respective opinions about anything at anytime and be heard. We believe in opportunity; an opportunity for young writers everywhere to practice their craft without scrutiny or ridicule. A chance to either exercise their skills, put their foot in the door as a writer, or just have a say. We believe in equality; a system that will not push anyone away but in fact welcome anyone who wants to write with open arms. Writing should not be a granted privilege but a natural right and we subscribe to that belief. Most of all, we believe in a future here at Reader's Feed. A future of promise. A future that follows the belief that we, as a generation, have the power to do great things. We believe that this could be a gateway to something new. Something that inspires, gives chances to those who have not been given a chance, and something that could potentially open peoples’ minds and sparks their imaginations. Writing is one of the best tools to share your thoughts with anyone who is willing to listen. That’s where we come in.

The editors of this webzine are constantly writing – whether it be for their classes or their responsibilities. Ali is a freelance writer and intern at newspapers, obviously she always has a deadline; James is majoring in history, and his classes never fail to have assignments needed the next week or so. We know what it means to have work to do; what it means to have responsibilities. And we most certainly know what it means to be students in this generation with thoughts and opinions aching to be shared. Reader’s Feed is our opportunity, and yours, to get what we think out there.

It may take weeks to get the members of our generation and others following our webzine; it may even take months, but rest assured, work will be developed. Articles will be written, photographs will be taken and analyzed, and thoughts will be provoked. Reader’s Feed is everyone’s chance to speak their mind or listen to what the future holds. We believe it is not only an opportunity, but a privilege to be able to work with our peers in order to create a community of excellent writers. This could be our and your chance to write what you need to write; to say what you need to say. Give writing a chance. Give us a chance. “Ability is nothing without opportunity” - Napoleon Bonaparte
