publication

Don't ask me why, but I decided to Google myself this afternoon, using both my current name and my former surname (Bar-Giora). I found this, which lead me to this, which I think is my earliest-ever publication. If memory serves, the magazine now known as Teen Ink was a newspaper called The 21st Century back when my opinion piece was printed a decade ago. The byline for my piece, as it appears online today, is just "Shanna B."; I presume this was done to protect my privacy or something, but obviously my full name was printed in the actual paper, and it's not that hard to figure it out (search the site for "Rabin" and read either of the feedback pieces).

I could have sworn I had a few other items published there, a couple of poems and another opinion piece, I think. I can't find them, though. Maybe I'm delusional.

And for those of you who went to high school with me, I give you this. And this. And of course this. Hell, all of this. You know who it is, right? If you're out there and reading, Ms. NCC...hi!

Your links aren't working properly, there's an extra close quote in there somewhere.

And on an unrelated note - Merrick? A good friend from college grew up there! The world shrinks slightly.

The links should be fixed now.

Who from Merrick? (You can email me...)

Don't you have a husband?

Yeah - you think he wasn't cooking too? Also my father. Oh, and the cleaning...always the cleaning. I'm a hurricane in the kitchen.
