Class Description
Get closer to the literary journals you admire with this specialized series of seminars. The Sessions with the Editor series offers insight into the featured journal’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 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, or writers who are actively submitting.
On Friday, October 6, get to know Joyland. Evgeniya Dame, one of the magazine’s Fiction Editors, will lead this informative session. Joyland, described as a literary journal in multiple time zones, was founded in 2008 by Emily Schultz and Brian J Davis, based on the idea that fiction is an international movement supported by local communities. Joyland has published work by Roxane Gay, Leopoldine Core, Zinzi Clemmons, Ottessa Moshfegh, Peter Orner, Emily St. John Mandel, Mona Awad, Rachel Khong, and Brock Clarke. Stories from it have gone on to appear in Best American Short Stories and the Journey Prize Anthology.
Please be sure to check out our other Sessions with the Editor Seminars: Sessions with the Editor: Hippocampus with Kristen Paulson-Nguyen on September 20th, and Session with the Editor: Foglifter Journal with Milo Todd on November 3rd.
