Just for fun today, we thought we'd post an older photo.  Because you rarely see the behind-the-scenes people who work on a magazine, here are a few folks who made the print volumes of Scoliosis Quarterly possible:  Founder/Publisher/Editor Maureen Janson Heintz at left, and Graphic Designer, Heather Hasenstein at right.  In this image, they are holding the very first copy of the very first issue of SQ!  (Issue #1 and all other issues are available to order through our website:  http://scoliosisquarterly.com/)




Maureen has been a published writer since 1991 with her most recent endeavor (Co-authoring a book titled Getting Started in Ballet) published in February of 2016 by Oxford University Press.  Diagnosed with scoliosis at age 16, Maureen went on to a successful career as a dance performer, teacher and choreographer.
