working as a team
"​Working with the Toyon staff and learning what it takes to push through with the goal of publication is definitely worth it to anyone who might want to someday publish or self-publish. The work needed by Toyon...lets future authors develop skills working with others and communicating to finish their own works. The skills learned in the class are invaluable. To anyone wanting to learn what it takes to publish,  Toyon is the place to do that."
​                                 ~Angela Compton, Managing Editor, 2016-17
