Spirit Lamp Cloister Time 2017 Issue 19 | Page 30

EDITORIAL by Richard Stillman ISSUE 19 We have made the plunge and decided to swim without the armbands of your having to buy the magazine via Blue Bills. Any experience of running a magazine should involve selling it so this is undoubtedly a good thing. However, it is also a risky enterprise so if you are reading this and have taken the plunge yourself then we thank you for your support of the arts at Winchester. We had a great workshop with Philippa Hamilton, an experienced magazine editor, who said start always with what your readers want. So tell us: we really value your feedback and your ideas as well as your submissions so please do get involved and help us take Spirit Lamp further. I would like to thank the team for all their hard work, the div dons for all their support and all our talented contributors. If you fancy dipping your toe in, do join the team and/or send us your work.
