In January, we solicited local writers and artists to submit samples for 11 areas the Reader is targeting for new content: local music; Iowa politics; local political cartoons; humor cartoons with a local bent; local sports; health; food/dining; the online world; lifestyle; travel; and energy/environment.
We had more than 20 submissions (including in areas we didn't even request), and now we're asking our readers to help us evaluate them. The submissions are being presented anonymously and unedited here .
Each article has an attached survey. Please take a few moments to read some of the submissions and offer your comments. Although we require a name and e-mail address, your feedback will remain confidential. We will accept comments through March 31.
