Inequality In Publishing: What Can Be Done?, Becky Tuch
Inequality In Publishing: What Can Be Done?, Becky Tuch
The Review Review
By now you’ve surely seen the numbers. VIDA, an organization dedicated to women in the literary arts, has done an incredible service to the literary community by amassing the statistics regarding gender breakdown in publishing. If you’ve seen the pie charts, then you know: women writers are in trouble. So we must now ask ourselves: What can be done in the interest of equality?

Beyond Privilege: Building A Writing Life When You Have No Room Of Your Own, Claire Rudy Foster
Beyond Privilege: Building A Writing Life When You Have No Room Of Your Own, Claire Rudy Foster
The Review Review
What do you need to write? A pen and paper, for some people. Keyboard. You need a table or a lap or a drawing board. If you’re making an outline or storyboard, you need a wall to pin your notes on and watch them as they migrate. These objects and surfaces have to be secure, too. The worst fear is leaving a notebook open and losing pages to the wind. A writer is usually one hard drive crash away from total misery. But, looking more deeply, the writer’s craft requires space. And time. The combination of these, in the act …
¡Qué Bueno! Literary Magazines For Latino And Bilingual Writers, Lauren Rheaume
¡Qué Bueno! Literary Magazines For Latino And Bilingual Writers, Lauren Rheaume
The Review Review
As The Acentos Review website states, “The debate may rage forever as to who or what constitutes Latin@ art...We are already here, writing the histories of our neighborhoods, following the traditions of our ancestors, as well as the poetic traditions that came before us.” Whereas Latino writers may be among the underrepresented, underappreciated artists of our world, there are certainly many outlets carved out specifically for them to display their talents. There are also many encouraging communities out there, like the Latino Writer’s Collective of Kansas City, and the Facebook community Con Tinta which “believes in affirming a pro-active …
An Ecclectic Collection; Review Of Colorado Review, Fall/Winter 2007, Ellyn Ruthstrom

The Review Review
The Center for Literary Publishing is a hub for both new and mature writers provided by Colorado State University. Its flagship journal is the thrice-yearly Colorado Review.

Journal Has Heart, But Not Without Faults; Review Of December, Spring/Summer 2018, Craig Ledoux
Journal Has Heart, But Not Without Faults; Review Of December, Spring/Summer 2018, Craig Ledoux
The Review Review
It is a sense of unease, a creeping evil, that december brings front and center to the Spring/Summer issue of 2018. The cover image, stitched woolwork by Lisa Ann Auerbach, depicts a cobwebbed bookcase, half full of books on wealth and deal making, written by and for the current president. On the bottom shelf, a revolver is wedged between Think Big and Kick Ass and The America We Deserve. Above, two books by Adolf Hitler—which the president reportedly owns—are bookended by a handgun. In her artist’s statement, Auerbach says she made the piece “before the election, back when everyone …
Esteemed Lit Mag Charts Wide Experience Of Human Nature; Review Of Five Points, Winter 2015 - 2016, Tripp Reade
Esteemed Lit Mag Charts Wide Experience Of Human Nature; Review Of Five Points, Winter 2015 - 2016, Tripp Reade
The Review Review
Shall I begin with the Five Points 17.1 contributor’s list? Will you want to know that these pages are spangled with NEA, Guggenheim, and Rockefeller fellowships, Pushcart, Library of Congress, and AWP prizes, magazine editors, professors, and poets-in residence? That the list of their published chapbooks, collections, short stories, and novels would consume the rest of this review if I let it? Or will it be better to turn aside, into a consideration of the issue itself? The latter? By all means, then.
Esteemed Australian Lit Mag Brims With Dynamic Culture; Review Of Meanjin, Winter 2014, Amy Clarke
Esteemed Australian Lit Mag Brims With Dynamic Culture; Review Of Meanjin, Winter 2014, Amy Clarke
The Review Review
As the opening editorial points out, Meanjin began as a poetry magazine nearly 75 years ago, and it continues to count the verse-driven art as its lifeblood. The poems in this edition are scattered throughout, running like veins through the entire edition, keeping the pulse and purpose of the magazine always at the forefront of the reader’s mind. Varying in style and composition, full of free verse and experimental forms, these poems are written by seasoned professionals and burgeoning artists alike. Meanjin Volume 73 begins with several brief articles under the heading, Perspectives, which explore the topics of modern day …
A Place For The Offbeat; Review Of Jokes Review, Summer 2018, Kim Jacobs-Beck
A Place For The Offbeat; Review Of Jokes Review, Summer 2018, Kim Jacobs-Beck
The Review Review
Some writers specialize in humor or in the offbeat. Even those who do not sometimes play with the form. Jokes Review wants to see your funny poem or offbeat piece of fiction. This is a new journal, started in summer 2016, published biannually online and in print. Editors Peter Clarke, Matt Kramer, Mark Dwyer and Erica Stumpe say that their vision is to “promote writers and artists whose work just took a wrong turn and went ever-so-gracefully off the deep end.” They accept all literary genres and visual art, and encourage experimental, hybrid, humorous, and “scraps” of writing, as well …

Where Are The Female Lit Mag Editors? Here., Danielle Lazarin
Where Are The Female Lit Mag Editors? Here., Danielle Lazarin
The Review Review
What has always stuck with me about the VIDA count isn’t the statistics themselves—horrid but not, if you’re from any underrepresented group, shocking—but the discussion, mostly anecdotal, of how women are not repeat submitters to literary magazines; men are more likely to send out again once they’ve been rejected. This was me: I have many kind rejections, years old, that say “please send again,” or “we’d like to see more work,” and yet, I didn’t.
"Making Every Word Count": A Chat With David Galef, Author Of Brevity: A Flash Fiction Handbook, David Galef, Chuck Augello
"Making Every Word Count": A Chat With David Galef, Author Of Brevity: A Flash Fiction Handbook, David Galef, Chuck Augello
The Review Review
The first draft of this Introduction had reached 300 words when I remembered I was writing about a book titled Brevity, proof enough that shorter forms can be just as challenging as longer works. An entertaining mix of instruction, exercises, and fiction from a diverse slate of writers, Brevity: A Flash Fiction Handbook is a much-needed guide to writing flash fiction. David Galef, who directs the Creative Writing Program at Montclair State University, has written an insightful and useful new book for teachers and writers of flash. Galef shared his thoughts in a recent interview.

From Pen To Print: 8 Tips For Getting Published In Literary Magazines, Becky Tuch
The Review Review
1. Be professional. You have done the first part of your homework by visiting this site. Next, take the time to visit the individual sites of lit mags that you are interested in. Read their guidelines. For some reason, people often consider themselves exempt from rules. You're not. You must play by the rules like everyone else. It doesn't make you boring. It makes your writing accessible.
"Where Emerging Talent Knows They Can Find A Home": A Chat With Briony Bax, Editor Of Ambit, Briony Bax, Euan Monaghan
"Where Emerging Talent Knows They Can Find A Home": A Chat With Briony Bax, Editor Of Ambit, Briony Bax, Euan Monaghan

The New Yorker Rejects Itself: A Quasi-Scientific Analysis Of Slush Piles, David Cameron
The New Yorker Rejects Itself: A Quasi-Scientific Analysis Of Slush Piles, David Cameron
The Review Review
It began as the kind of logical argument that seems airtight to anyone who has never studied logic. If the New Yorker is the most desirable literary magazine in the world, and if the New Yorker can have any short story the New Yorker wants, then whatever story the New Yorker gets would—logically—be so intrinsically desirable that all lesser literary pubs (e.g., everyone) would pine for it. Just like the prettiest girl at the dance: the guy she picks is the guy chicks dig. Basic deduction 101.

The Submitter's Dilemma: Choosing The Right Literary Magazine For Your Work, Becky Tuch
The Submitter's Dilemma: Choosing The Right Literary Magazine For Your Work, Becky Tuch
The Review Review
There are over 600 print and online literary magazines today, not to mention dozens of new journals starting up all the time. If you are new to submitting your work, the sheer quantity of literary magazines can be quite terrifying. How do you even begin to sort through the wealth of offerings? How do you know a prestigious journal from a less established one? How do you find the journals that feature the sort of work you like to write? What are your odds of being accepted in one journal over another? Do literary agents read literary magazines, and if …

The Seven Habits Of Successful Writers, Leslie Greffenius
The Seven Habits Of Successful Writers, Leslie Greffenius
The Review Review
One of the thrilling but daunting tasks of becoming a better writer is that you have to design your own curriculum. Sure, you can participate in helpful writing workshops taught by admired authors or read various experts' books on craft, but you still have to choose for yourself which courses to take and what books to read. Even if you attend an MFA program, you have to decide what to write and how, whether or not to outline, how to undertake revisions, when and where to submit your work and so on. In many ways, writers are their own teachers, …
Working With An Editor… And Learning How To Learn, James Scott
Working With An Editor… And Learning How To Learn, James Scott
The Review Review
Question: I had a story accepted and the editor wants me to make changes. This is my story. I’m torn… What should I do? —Brian First of all, congratulations, Brian. Take some time to enjoy your success. I’ve been thinking about this question a lot lately. Or, rather, I’ve been thinking about editors a lot lately with the tragic passing of Jeanne Leiby on April 19. Jeanne was the editor of the Southern Review, the Florida Review before that, the fiction editor at Black Warrior Review before that, and a crossbow aficionado always. (What does that have to do …

Hidden Gems: Publishing Novel Excerpts, Dell Smith
The Review Review
Are you too busy working on a novel (or blog post) to devote time to revising and sending out that stack of unfinished short stories? Fear not: You may already have a few almost-ready-for-publication stories sitting idle on your hard drive and not even know it.

Revise In Haste; Repent At Leisure, Randy Susan Meyers
Revise In Haste; Repent At Leisure, Randy Susan Meyers
The Review Review
Just when you think you’re done with revision, guess what? There’s room to do one more (or maybe two, or three.) The smartest thing my agent did for me recently (uh, except for selling my book) was suggesting that one more revision on my current work-in-progress would be beneficial. (Her words were a little more pointed, actually. But that’s why I love her.) I don’t know about you, but I read books with an eye towards how well they were revised. Not just well written, but well revised, because it’s between the first flashes of imagination and the last comma …
On False Notes And Forced Endings, Ron Maclean
On False Notes And Forced Endings, Ron Maclean
The Review Review
Sometimes you have to force it. Sometimes you have to fly in the face of your principles and do the things you advise your students—and yourself—never to do. It's the craziest part of being a writer: even the best advice isn't the best advice every time. Sometimes you've got to break your own rules.
Koalas, Blowback And Ick Factor: Finding Ways To Write From The Heart, Chris Abouzeid
Koalas, Blowback And Ick Factor: Finding Ways To Write From The Heart, Chris Abouzeid
The Review Review
At a reading many years ago, Tobias Wolff (award winning author of In the Garden of the North American Martyrs and This Boy’s Life) talked about the fear factor in writing. Good writing, he said, the best writing, should make the author nervous. Actually, he didn’t use the word nervous. He said “scared”—as in, “Do I really want to know this about myself? Do I want the world to know this about me? Oh my god, is it too late to buy up all the copies and burn them?!”
