Issue 22

The Webzine of Personal Stories…


Jonathan Kravetz — Note from the Editor

Ducts.org was originally the work of two mad scientists who molded her out of pixels, electricity and too many late-night cheese and bacon omlets.  Over nines years the staff has expanded, while one of our mad scientists, yours truly, stayed on board to protect the ship from literary pirates and rough waters.  Now we’re expanding once again.  I’m happy to announce that Kat Rodies, who has helped us in countless ways over the last few years, is coming on board as our first Managing Editor.  We are pleased to welcome her on board and look forward to seeing her bring her own special vision to the webzine.
