The result has been a wonderful new magazine for Walla Walla University, one that has been praised by booksellers,
authors, and readers of all kinds. Alumni who wish to read from work they published in Gadfly when they were WWU students, or who have since published or written appropriate work, are invited to e-mail Dan Lamberton at dan.lamberton@wallawalla.edu, to be scheduled into the reading. We also invite you to submit your writing or art for consideration in Gadfly 2008.
