New Staff Member
Leann Fischel
It is our pleasure to introduce another staff member that has been added to the Relief team: Leann Fischel! Leann is our brand-speanking-new intern (a position I once filled–and look where it got me!). She will be assisting with submission reading and writing for our blog.
Here is Leann’s bio:
Leann is about to become a 2010 graduate of Sam Houston State University where she spent the last three years falling in love with writing. She has read the classics by Twain, Shakespeare, Dostoevskyand many others and yes, the Harry Potter AND Twilight series. She hopes a job will find her in San Antonio in the next six months so she can be a workin’ woman.
If you would be so kind, leave a comment welcoming her to our staff!
Help Wanted!
Right now, Relief is in a period of growth. While we like to think we’ve got enough hardworking people, we actually need more. And our sister publication, The Midnight Diner, could use some more team members too.
Starting next Thursday, we will be launching a “Help Wanted” tab at the top of the page advertising between three and five positions that we need to fill to keep up with our expansion. The positions are part time (10-25 hours a week) and will require a resumé to be submitted with the application.
If you have any questions, leave a comment after the one you’ve already left welcoming Leann.

Welcome our new staff member!
Bonnie Ponce
Last week, Relief added a new staff member, Bonnie Ponce. Bonnie will be the Director of Support Raising. We are all super excited for her to be on our staff.
Here’s a brief message from Bonnie:
“I am so excited to join the Relief staff, as the Director of Support Raising! I am a native Texan and currently I live in Huntsville, Texas. I earned a BA in English from Sam Houston State University. I am married to the love of my life, Tim. I enjoy watching anime, drawing, and doing crafts. I am very excited to work with Relief because it is exactly what I was looking for, a place for people to express the grittiness of life with the hope of Christ. I am so blessed to be a part of Relief!”
Please join us as we welcome Bonnie to our staff!

Rock & Sling returns!
If you follow Relief’s twitter account, then you may remember hearing us mention @rockandsling back in April when we were at the 2010 Festival of Faith & Writing. In case you missed the tweet, we were announcing the return of a fellow Christian literary journal, Rock & Sling.
Rock & Sling disappeared from the literary world a couple years ago, but they have returned with the backing of Whitworth University. They are presently offering subscriptions, and we recommend you look into getting one. After you’ve signed up for a subscription for Relief, of course. 
Be sure to check them out at www.rockandsling.com.
Free .pdf of 4.1
If you received a copy of Relief 4.1, then we have an offer for you to get a free copy of the .pdf file so you can read it on your computer, e-book reader, etc. All you have to do is write a review of Relief 4.1 on Amazon.com or GoodReads.com. Once you’ve posted a review, put the link in a comment to this post, and we will send you the .pdf of 4.1 within 24 hours. (Offer expires July 24, 2010.)

4.1 Shipping!
Just yesterday we received the printed copies of issue 4.1! They will be shipping from ccPublishing’s president’s office sometime in the next two days, so they will be on their way to you by the weekend! So exciting!
This does man that the pre-sales will be removed from our side bar, but we will still be selling the .pdf file from our store at a price that is much less expensive than a printed copy.
Some personal rearranging
This week, our Editor-in-Chief, Christopher Fisher, moved to Virginia. We are very thankful that he and his family made the trip safely, and we hope his family settles in soon.
Our Web Editor, Ian Philpot, also started a job with Willow Creek Community Church this week as their Web Content Developer. This is great news as Ian just graduated with an English degree in May and already has a full-time job working in his field of study. He is very thankful and feels extremely blessed by his new job.

We went to print!!!
Over a week ago, we submitted issue 4.1 to the printer. Sometime over the weekend, it was approved for print. This means that we should be receiving the copies of 4.1 in about a week and they will be shipped out immediately. This also means that this is the last week for presales, so if you haven’t purchased 4.1 yet, get on it!
Prayers
Michelle Pendergrass, ccPublishing’s President, could use your prayers. Her mother passed away yesterday after dealing with some major health issues. We ask that you pray for her peace of mind as she handles the busyness over the next few days.
4.1 Author Blogs
Starting this week, we will be featuring blog posts from authors that will be in Relief 4.1. We will be including excerpts of their pieces to give you a little taste of what is to come. So keep your eyes open on here and also on Facebook and Twitter. – We did post Gwen Weerts’ writing last week, so scroll down and read what she wrote if you missed it.
