BTW – The women behind Hyphen Magazine (Lisa Lee and Melissa Hung) made it in the Top 5 of the 7×7 Magazine Hot 20 Under 40 Reader’s Choice nominees. Also Hyphen Magazine needs funding help:

We need to raise at least $10,000 this summer, which is the cost of printing one issue of the magazine and paying small stipends to our feature writers. We rely heavily on donations to continue our work, so we ask that you donate what you can, from $1 to $1,000. No cliché here—every little bit helps.

Donate to them here.
