We have recently undergone a change in our nonfiction section, adding new editors such as Amy Lee Scott and Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich to the roster.
"Noise" by Emily Meg Weinstein was the first essay we've posted since the change, and I think it's an excellent start.
This essay was selected because of the author's writing style and voice, which our editors found "robust," "energetic," "thoughtful," and "sprawling (in a good way)." Alexandria was especially impressed by the essay's tone, which she said "balanced the essayistic/reflective and the very au courant." She also noted that she "would read anything that had that first line."
"Noise" was actually Emily's second published piece on Identity Theory; in 2005, she wrote an essay called "Apprehension, or size 6 knee-length empire-waist strapless in burnt sienna silk shantung with pomegranate bow band."
What do you think of "Noise"?

On the Launch of this Blog
I created this blog as a forum for announcing site-related news (such as calls for submissions, contests, new blogs...) as well as commenting on stories we are publishing.
I expect we'll also use it to some degree like a general-interest blog with links to eclectic miscellany that is in some way related to our site.
If you're looking to keep up with us and make your thoughts known, you can grab our RSS feed here:
