About Anderbo Anderbo.com, the New York-based online literary journal, is the brainchild of Rick Rofihe, who serves as the journal’s Editor-in-Chief. Rofihe, who had neither personally typed nor sent an e-mail in his lifetime, and so might seem a highly improbable originator of such an online literary venture, yet his unique print perspective brings a distinct feeling to Anderbo. But what is Anderbo? “Anderbo is a made-up word,” explains Rofihe, “and the reason I made it up was, I didn’t want to ruin an already existing word, so I tried to make up a new one. For example, it used to be that when you said ‘mustang’ people would think ‘horse.’ But now when you say, ‘mustang,’ people think you mean the car built by Ford.”

Janeczko’s story was published in the fall of 2005 by anderbo.com, the New York based online literary journal, headed by Editor-in-Chief Rick Rofihe. Recently, anderbo.com was also honored by Million Writers Award, when it was named the best new online literary journal of 2005. “We are excited and pleased for Kara,” says Rofihe. “She is a seasoned writer with a sharp wit and a unique style and she truly deserves this honor. Her story exhibits the qualities we look for and admire in the writers we choose for Anderbo.” Kara Janeczko has taught media literacy and video production in Poughkeepsie, NY and New Mexico; she now teaches in New York City. Currently, she is pursuing an MFA in creative writing at City College and lives in Harlem.

anderbo.com Honored—Named Best New Online Journal New York—April 1, 2006—In March, storySouth, the online literary journal, announced that it had given its 2005 Million Writers Award for “Best New Online Magazine or Journal” to anderbo.com. Still a young publication, anderbo.com was launched by Editor-in-Chief Rick Rofihe in the summer of 2005. The work that can be found on Anderbo is a combination of stories, poems, and short nonfiction pieces known as “fact.” In announcing the award to anderbo.com, storySouth stated, “This new journal features a top-notch editorial crew and started 2005 out with a bang. The journal should achieve even greater heights in the years to come.” Despite its youth, or maybe even because of it, Anderbo is attracting some of the best new writing talent around, with three of its writers, Jeffrey Rubin, Kara Janeczko, and Martha Wilson, all having been considered among the storySouth Million Writers Award's most notable online stories of 2005.
