When I was a kid, I subscribed to several magazines. When one arrived in the mail, I would pore over it until I had read the
same stories a dozen times. The wait between issues was agonizing. One day, I decided I was done waiting. I’d write my own
magazine. I holed myself up in my bedroom and didn’t emerge until the first issue of Nothing But Kids was completed. My
mom helped me xerox a few copies for friends and family. From there, the magazine grew to a thriving business. The South
Valley Magazine Writing Program is the answer to a question I’ve asked myself for several years—”How can I pass the
incredible experience I had to the next generation?”
