Thanks Judy! Do you mean, you'd like to see more CNF magazines in the interviews? Or more questions to editors specifically about the CNF they publish?

Yes, me too. CNF and essays, be it magazines that exclusively publish CNF or by talking to the dedicated editor for such texts.

I save all your posts and function on my own simply because a rough financial situation (temporary but for this whole year) has put me to door dashing 6 days a week 7am - 7pm and will end somewhat ( prices have so increased) when this “business” zoned house I bought but can’t live in either sells or rents. You are the consummate organizer as a true writer/editor and we are all fortunate to have options here.

I agree with Judy Galliher about wanting more CNF representation in the litmags.

I'm beginning to think my work isn't "literary" enough and can't figure out where it might fit. Yes, I'd like more questions to editors specifically about the CNF they publish or if they only publish highly literary essays. What about asking what percent of what they publish is about reckoning with race or underrepresented voices. It does seem like literary journals are trying really hard to be inclusive. I hate to bring this up, but it feels like the elephant in the room.

Thanks for being so accommodating, Becky!

Part of the problem I had answering the questions is that my schedule fluctuates so one week may be good for noon weekdays, but the next I might have a zoom meeting or hav to be somewhere.

Hawaii is 6 hours difference, so, times really matter to us.

And I'm in the other direction, Berlin, 6 hours in the other direction.

But I'm working pretty well with checking out the recordings in the days following the event.
