We Strive for Very High Quality : A Chat With Gerald Trites, Editor of The Antigonish Review
Get PDFFounded in 1970, The Antigonish Review prides itself on offering an eclectic array of poetry and prose by emerging as well as established writers. One of the oldest continuing literary magazines in Canada, the Review has an international reach, with readers in Germany, Korea, France, and Saudi Arabia, and submissions coming from as far away as Afghanistan and Brazil. Annie Dillard, Marshall McLuhan, and Margaret Atwood are among the award-winning writers whose work has been featured in the journal. Gerald Trites, Managing Editor, shared his thoughts with The Review Review
Working with an Editor… And Learning How to Learn
Get PDFQuestion: 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 with anything? Nothing! It’s just fascinating.) I did not know her well. From everything I’ve heard, long before her death and since, I wish I had
Forget Publishing. Just Write!
Get PDFI recently looked at some of my old manuscript printouts. I still keep them tucked away in an old cardboard R-Kive banker’s box, hoping I have some worthy stories I can dust off and polish into gems. Well, there may be a few good ideas kicking around that banker’s box, but I can’t get past the horrid writing. I forgot what a bad writer I was. It’s all there in this tomb of fictive sorrows, embalmed in yellowed paper.The contents of that box represents the years of frustrating, difficult, and at times hopeless work it took to be the writer I am today. I don’t mean to imply that I’m a great writer now. But I am a better writer now than when I wrote those drafts. And I plan on being a better writer in the future

A Creature of (Many) Habit(ation)s; Review of Salamander, Summer 2008
Get PDFA salamander is amphibious. Not only can salamanders live both on land and in water, many species are endangered. Which means the salamander is doubly unique. Salamander, then, is a fitting name for Suffolk University\u27s journal, showcasing multi-faceted writers that offer distinct viewpoints, which may just take you out of your comfort zone into exciting new environs. The journal was started in 1992 by Jennifer Barber, who wanted to target new authors. Barber recently told the Suffolk Scoop that it isn\u27t just for writers. It\u27s for readers who understand, appreciate and enjoy good writing. I like to think I fall into both the former and the latter -- and I very much appreciated the pieces in Salamander

If It\u27s Heavy It\u27s Ripe: On Writing and Political Sentiment
Get PDFWriters and students often ask how to marry the personal and the political in their work. While I have no good answer, I did have an aha moment a few days ago that struck as I lifted a striped watermelon at the local market: if it’s heavy it’s ripe. The same holds true for the personal and the political. If it’s heavy, it’s good. But too much weight and the watermelon – the work – becomes unmanageable. So, to lift a phase from the poet Fred Marchant: beware the tipping point. And yet… Isn’t that the point of writing? To tip readers into a new space
American Little Magazines Since 1950: Charting Many Histories
Get PDFAs lit mag enthusiasts know, Little Magazines cuts off in 1947. It details the magazines of the Modernist period quite well, as several other excellent comprehensive resources do. The three-volume Oxford Cultural History series on literary magazines details the work of various little magazines in the US, UK, Europe, and Ireland, but gets no further than 1950. Tri-Quarterly’s excellent “documentary” issue of 1978 surveys several editors of significant magazines in the intervening period, and they provide engaging statements of purpose, origin stories, and “biographical” sketches of their particular magazines. More recent volumes like Spreading the Word, Paper Dreams, and Contemporary Literary Magazines follow a similar model, and those volumes do a great job of capturing the voices of the founding or then-current editors of benchmark magazines. But those volumes lack the magic of Little Magazines
