September 2013 marked three years since the birth of
Mouse Tales Press; it has been a wonderful ride so far and I’m happy to report
that this year we began offering a print version of each issue, available
through the print-on-demand service Mag Cloud.
This change has brought with it the need for a proofreader, which brings me to
the very happy announcement that Carrie Wicks has joined our (now three-person) crew.
Carrie has an extensive background as a proofreader
and editorial assistant, among other things. Please watch for an updated
“About” section on our website where you will be able to read her full bio.

In other news, since bringing Carrie on board, we have
