Welcome to the Endicott Studio's newly re-designed Journal of Mythic Arts. On these pages you will find news and reviews pertaining to myth-related arts, along with the collected archives of the last ten years of JoMA, plus new JoMA material (articles, stories, poetry, & other arts) added frequently. The best place to start is the new JoMA Home Page -- which should give you an easy overview of all things Endicott and where you can now find it.
Meanwhile, this blog will continue to bring you our usual daily posts, along with announcements of any new material added to any of JoMA's sections: articles, fiction, poetry, and the arts. (There's a "Comments" feature in each of those sections, so readers will now be able to respond to material we publish in JoMA. And we hope you'll do so!) "JoMA Contents," in the upper left hand column, provides navigational links to take you to each section. Underneath are "JoMA Archives" links -- where we index all the offerings in each section of the journal (listed alphabetically by author) so that you can find older material easily.
You'll also find a JoMA Links Page of recommended blogs & websites (including links to Endicott's other web pages), and a Mythic Reading Lists section (with updated book suggestions). We provide information on the Endicott staff, on the Children's Charities we support, and on how to make a donation to JoMA (and receive a print of Terri's art in thanks). If you're curious about where the Endicott name comes from, there's a page about that too.
While the old Endicott Studio website will continue to house Past Issues of JoMA, new material will be published here in the new JoMA format. As Terri mentioned in yesterday's post, we will no longer produce quarterly issues of JoMA -- rather, new material will be added frequently throughout the year, and we will alert you to its appearance on this blog.
...Speaking of which, we've opened the re-designed Journal of Mythic Arts with some fine new poetry for you by Margarita Engle, Wendy McVicker, Joseph Stanton, and Jane Yolen. All of these poems are never-before-published works, and we're honored to be able to present them to you here. You'll find them in the poetry section.
We hope you enjoy the new design. Please let us know how you like it (and if you have any problems navigating through it all).
Love the new format. Classy. And _very_ glad to hear that you'll be publishing the Endicott Journal year round instead of quarterly. (More, more, more for us! Fantastic!)
I don't comment that often, but this occasion reminds me that we ought to tell you now and then how much we appreciate all you do. Oh, and the new Endicott kids page is great.

Only my 2nd comment, but I'm a long-time follower of the site. The new format is absolutely wonderful! I love the custom recommended literature and quotes on the right side (depending on what page you are on...non-fiction on the article page, poetry books on the poetry page).
There seems to be SO much more available, but I suspect it was all there, just in a harder-to-reach place.
I love it!

Thank you so much for all these wonderful responses! And Grace, I am delighted that you now find more of the material accessible -- that was one of our goals for the new design!

Love the blog.
Great stuff all around.

Very good new look to the site, congratulations.

Another silent reader finally speaking up here. I too appreciate all you do. The re-design is lovely. I like the way it re-presents some of the older material, allowing me to find treasures I've missed before. Like Grace, I'm wondering if there's much more material now, or if it's simply presented in a way that I can access Endicott's rich store of mythic information more easily. Either way, it's a job well done, ladies. Congratulations.

Great new look. Congratulations.
Ms Snyder, both Julie and I hope that this means you'll have more time for writing articles as well as fiction. With all due respect to Ms. Windling and the other writers, we love In Praise of the Cook and The Armless Maiden and we'd both llove to read more of your nonfiction. I hope others are in the works?

Congratulations! (albeit belatedly). I love the new look, it's gorgeous and the content makes this one of my favourite reads (and LJ feeds) because _there's always content worth reading_. That's saying a lot.

Great new format - very clean and 'friendly'. It looks like you are no longer featuring 'online exhibits' of individual artists? At least not in the same way? (Maybe this will be included in your "Other" art links?) That was one of my favorite features of your quarterly mag, I hope it will continue at least occasionally.

Thanks for your feedback on the site design, everyone. And also for your very kind comments, which Midori and I truly appreciate.
Tara, we will indeed continue to post "online exhibitions" periodically -- don't worry!
