Mizna will publish the winter 2018 issue of our literary journal Mizna: Prose, Poetry, and Art Exploring Arab America, a special issue marking the 70 years of the occupation of Palestine. Because of the special interest in this issue and the interest we have already received, we hope to publish the work of 30ű35 established and emerging authors, a 50%ű75% increase in the number of authors we normally publish. We hope to circulate 750 copies of the physical journal and to have 200 audience members present for the journal release reading. We will evaluate this project by asking for feedback from the published authors, from subscribers, and from the audience members at the journal release reading. In all cases, we will include questions regarding the artistic impacts on participants, and we will use the quantitative (numbers of authors, subscribers, and audience members) and qualitative (impressions, level of audience engagement) feedback to make necessary changes to this program going forward.
950 people bought the Palestine issue or received it as part of their subscription, getting the opportunity to read the work of 30 writers and read and see the work of the visual artist Yazan Khalili. 160 people people attended the Palestine issue journal release reading by 5 authors.
