It was an honor and a privilege to dream up Ruminate Magazine in the spring of 2006 and then serve as editor-in-chief until January 2020. I worked with so many amazing people—the incredible staff members and volunteers and all the writers and artists who contributed to the magazine. My time with Ruminate was a gift and a labor of love and it continues to shape my work today.

After a sixteen-year run, Ruminate officially ceased production in winter 2022.

One of Ruminate’s former editors, Jess Jelsma Masterton, houses the free online archive of Ruminate print issues. You can find that here.
