We interrupt this BWC programming for a very important PSA. Hey there EVRE1!  You’ll want to RSVP for FFW this APR 19-21 in GR, MI ASAP! I know I’m looking forward to this biennial festival after rounds of ISTEP tests and implementing IEPs and RTIs at my FT job at CMS where I also earn PGP points...

Burnsiders, It’s been a while since I’ve said hello, and I apologize for that. I thought I’d give an update on what’s been going on around here. I’ll make it a numbered list, because that’s always nice and easy. 1. Three of Burnside’s editors, along with a good...

Some weeks ago, Dylan Peterson published a post on our old blog entitled “The Cost of Blasphemy (Priceless)”. Dylan was new to our site.  He is a talented writer who’s work has appeared in Killing the Buddha, Relevant, and his blog, which also features a piece on the “Top 10...

This photo metaphorically describes how I feel about our new site. Come in, come in!  Get comfortable!  I certainly am. No, not that comfortable.  We keep our pants on around here.  (Though I admire your laid-back vibe.) This is the Burnside Writers Collective.  This is our new site.  It’s...

Dear Burnside readers, The holidays are over, and in rolls the humdrum of winter. At least the days are getting longer, right? It’s been some time since we checked in via the Letters from the Editor section. It’s been an eventful year for everyone, and Burnside has been no exception. We...

Dear Readers, We’ve reached the point where we must ask you to help us. Burnside editors and regular contributors have been running through ideas, planning and preparing for months. It’s time for us to step out in faith. We know Burnside is special. We know we’re on to something....

UPDATE: Hello Burnside Community, Jordan is on an artistic retreat this week and so I get to give you all a behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening with the “new Burnside”, sometimes called “BWC 2.0″ in the flurry of e-mails exchanged between editors and some our regular...

Hello, all! Things are going well down here in Phoenix, and Burnside is back in the swing of things. For over a month, our email here at the site was not working. We just got it up and going with the invaluable help of Coach Culbertson over at Relief Journal, so a million thanks to him. What that means...

Ladies and gentlemen, Thanks for sticking with us the last few weeks! It’s been crazy around these parts, and we regret not being able to provide you with consistent issues. But, you see, I was busy. First, I got married. Here’s an incredible video Don Miller put together from footage...
