Class Description
Get closer to the literary journals and publishers you admire with this specialized series of seminars. The Sessions with the Editor series offers insight into the featured publisher's aesthetics, archives, how to submit, and the editorial process—straight from the editors! In this informative 3-hour session, featured editors will talk about their journal or press and share their insights, including some of their favorite published pieces. They will also answer your burning questions about writing, editing, and submitting! These seminars are great for any writer interested in learning more about the editorial process for literary journals and presses, or writers who are actively submitting.
On Friday, June 28th, get to know Focus. Jasper Joyner, Managing Editor, will lead this informative session. Focus is a Memphis-based arts and culture magazine celebrating LGBTQ+ communities. Focus offers a platform for southern LGBTQ advocates, allies, artists, and writers, especially those most marginalized in mainstream spaces. The hope is to uplift and educate both LGBTQ+ and non-LGBT communities in the U.S. south and beyond.
