For Caleb Hurley (12), that experience turned into an exciting accomplishment when one of his articles was officially published on “Spill Magazine.” On Oct. 23, Hurley published an article, titled “SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: MICHAEL KINWANUKA- FUDGE,” focusing on the album FUDGE by musician Michael Kiwanuka. In his review, Hurley shares his thoughts on the album’s sound, vocals and overall production. He highlights the strong bass and guitar parts, along with Kiwanuka’s powerful singing and songwriting. Hurley also points out a few areas where he thinks the album could improve, showing that his review looks at both the positives and the negatives of the music. Getting his work published was something Hurley took the initiative to pursue. He applied to write for “Spill Magazine” and included several examples of articles he had written in the past. After reviewing his work, the publication accepted him and asked him to write the album review. “I just applied to write for them and attached a bunch of my past articles, and they accepted me and asked me to write that review that’s on the website,” Hurley said. Hurley’s interest in writing music reviews started his freshman year. At the time, opinion articles about topics outside of school were not very common in his publications class. When he fell behind on assignments, he asked his teacher, Beth Brubaker, if he could write an album review instead. She agreed, and he has continued writing about music ever since. After years of writing music articles, getting accepted by “Spill Magazine” was an emotional moment for Hurley. Receiving the acceptance email showed him that his dedication and hard work had paid off.“When I first got my acceptance email, it was an emotional moment for me, it was confirmation that my hard work had paid off, yet I was really excited because I love to write about music,” Hurley said. Brubaker saw Hurley’s hard work and knew it wasn’t going to be unnoticed. He is described in many different ways by her. He has continued to push and keep writing about the things he loved even when it didn’t correspond to his school. “I was excited to hear this, but I was also not surprised. Caleb is incredibly passionate about music, and he works very hard to get better at crafting outstanding reviews. He is meticulous and thoughtful, and Caleb is also persistent. He created a portfolio and took it upon himself to send them out to publications. Hard work yields results, so he deserves this.” Brubaker said. Having his work featured on “Spill Magazine’s” website also allows Hurley to reach an audience beyond his school and friends. After spending years writing about music, being able to share his opinions with readers who may not know him personally is especially meaningful. “It means so much to me; I’ve been writing music articles for many years now, and now for my reviews to reach an audience outside of my family/friends, it’s a very gratifying feeling,” Hurley said. For Hurley, being published on “Spill Magazine” is more than just having his name on a website. It represents years of dedication, a passion for music and the confidence to put his work out into the world. His experience shows how something that started as a classroom assignment can turn into an opportunity beyond school. </div></body>
