The Freelancer — East’s student-run literary arts magazine — is formatting their final pages and choosing what artwork will go in the magazine after their final submission deadline for artwork on Feb. 29. “We can’t take any more pieces [after the 29th] because if we do, we’re not going to be able to get this publication finished,” Freelancer Design Editor Roslyn Carle said. “So if you’re a junior or sophomore or freshman, you can still submit stuff after the deadline, but it will be in next year’s publication.” The publishing date is not set but the 20-person staff hopes to finalize the publication by the middle of April and publish in the first few weeks of May, mirroring the schedule from past years. The staff also chose the theme of their magazine in November, but the theme remains a secret.
