Panelists include: Camille Bromley (
NYT Opinion Special Projects),
Alexander Lumans (
American Short Fiction), Holly Amos (Poetry), and
Jane Huffman (Denver Quarterly)Publishing a poem, essay, news piece, or short story can be a huge accomplishment on its own, but it can also be the first move in a much longer game. This panel brings together editors from literary magazines, newspapers, and major outlets (including an editor from American Short Fiction, a special projects editor from New York Times Opinion, an editor from
Poetry, and an editor from
Denver Quarterly) to talk about what they're looking for, how to get their attention, and what a single well-placed piece can set in motion. One Lighthouse writer published just such an essay in the Times, and watched it become the foundation of her book published in February. Come hear how that happens, and how to start building your own trail of clips, credits, and opportunities.
