“We’re so thankful for the NEA’s support of Ecotone,” said Anna Lena Phillips Bell, assistant professor in the UNCW Department of Creative Writing and editor of Ecotone. “This award will allow us to bring vital arts programming to UNC Wilmington, for students who work on the magazine, the campus community, and the public.”

Ecotone‘s mission is to publish and promote the best place-based work being written today, and to offer students in UNCW‘s MFA program in creative writing the chance to learn the craft of literary editing, according to a press release.
