Accolades for East On Central:

“I was highly impressed with my first time seeing the journal this autumn—astonished at the high quality of the graphics, paper, artwork and editing. Aside from its content, Volume 22 is a masterpiece in itself. The placement of the graphic content—the photos and artwork—is brilliantly and thoughtfully done. All your time and care has produced a stunningly impressive totality.”

Doug Macdonald

“Love that we are garnering attention from writers and artists beyond our Highland Park community!
