At Hippocampus Magazine, we enjoy staying in touch with our contributors, our Hippocampus family! We love hearing about and sharing the continued achievements of these writers, as well as those of our staff members and past conference speakers.
Each issue, or as often as we have enough updates to create a new post, we like to share their good news!
These were updates we received (or, in some cases, discovered on our own) between the release of our March/April issue release and May 1.
A big congratulations to all! (Submit your news here for inclusion a future update.)
