GNOMIC SAVIORS: EDITORS ON EDITING – HOW CAN LIT MAGS INCREASE READERSHIP?

January 1, 2010 Contributed By: Aaron Burch, Anne McPeak, Ben George, Jacob Knabb, Jodee Stanley, Okla Elliott, Raymond Hammond

Okla Elliott: Since one of my goals for doing this editors forum is to promote literary journals and hopefully garner subscriptions for the journals involved here and others, could you discuss what you think editors and writers could be doing to increase readership of literary journals?  For example, one tactic I’ve used is to require workshop […]

GNOMIC SAVIORS: EDITORS ON EDITING – WHAT IS THE PLACE OF POLITICS IN LIT MAGS?

January 1, 2010 Contributed By: Aaron Burch, Anne McPeak, Ben George, Jacob Knabb, Jodee Stanley, Okla Elliott, Raymond Hammond

Okla Elliott: Since we’ve hit economics and corrective missions, it might be appropriate to talk about the place of politics in literature.  It strikes me that American authors are so often unwilling to engage with anything political, whereas European, Latin American, and African authors do so almost constantly.  I’ve even gotten the sense from many writers […]

GNOMIC SAVIORS: EDITORS ON EDITING – HOW DO EDITORS SELECT WORK FOR PUBLICATION?

January 1, 2010 Contributed By: Aaron Burch, Anne McPeak, Ben George, Jacob Knabb, Jodee Stanley, Okla Elliott, Raymond Hammond

Okla Elliott: What is the process by which your journal’s staff selects a piece for publication?

The selection process is pretty much the same […]

January 1, 2010 Contributed By: Aaron Burch, Anne McPeak, Ben George, Jacob Knabb, Jodee Stanley, Okla Elliott, Raymond Hammond

Okla Elliott: The United States is unique in that we have literally thousands of literary journals, whereas countries like England or Germany have only a few dozen, and some countries have fewer than ten.  Now, the circulation on some of these tend to beat ours, but not always.  So, what is the effect of the massive […]

GNOMIC SAVIORS: EDITORS ON EDITING – WHY DO EDITORS EDIT?

January 1, 2010 Contributed By: Aaron Burch, Anne McPeak, Ben George, Jacob Knabb, Jodee Stanley, Okla Elliott, Raymond Hammond

Okla Elliott: I feel most editors get into the editing business at least in part to correct certain wrongs they see in contemporary literature. There is of course the love of literature in general that brings us to this work, but what kinds of literature do you see as needing more airtime and how do you […]

GNOMIC SAVIORS: EDITORS ON EDITING – WHAT HAPPENS TO LIT MAGS IN A RECESSION?

January 1, 2010 Contributed By: Aaron Burch, Anne McPeak, Ben George, Jacob Knabb, Jodee Stanley, Okla Elliott, Raymond Hammond

Okla Elliott: Everyone is talking about the current economic situation in the US.  How is this affecting literary journals, and what are the solutions you’ve found? Jodee Stanley (Ninth Letter): I think the economy has got us all biting our nails, looking over our shoulders. I’m interested to hear what independent journals have to say about the […]
