Letter from Editor-in-Chief

Dear Readers,

Welcome to The Trailblazer’s third issue. It has been six months since the founding of our publication, and things have been absolutely phenomenal. We have received hundreds of submissions from talented young artists and writers worldwide. We have also grown into a team of 90 editors.

In particular, I would like to thank Kaelin, my co-Editor-in-Chief, for her contribution and dedication to our magazine. I have never worked with anyone who is so selfless and hardworking before. She has strengthened my passion for creative writing.

A lot of things have happened since our second issue was released, including the announcement of the winners of our Cultural Heritage Writing Contest and our cooperation with Young4Arts to host online writing workshops. Ultimately, I am confident that our publication will continue to thrive and expand in the future, as well as serve its purpose as a platform to connect young writers of different ethnicities, cultures, and backgrounds.

Sincerely,

Renee Chen
