Mount Olympus, Valhalla, the Pearly Gates, places occupied by the Gods. Up, up there, where we little writers send our work and hope, pray, light candles, revise, revise, revise, dreaming that a human, not a demi-god may be able to arrive there and the fruits of our labor come out in these god-like publications, some that we adore, some that we despise (since they rejected us so much), and some that we just feel are way up there and are totally unreachable.
Yet with this awesome interview, I feel that Becky and Landon opened a gate, a portal for us writers to feel that the people up there are not gods (yes, they are good at what they do and do it with passion), but are humans that love their craft. Becky, thank you for opening that door, being our champion, our Terry Gross, Charlie Rose (he was a great interviewer of writers), trying to demystify the process and breaking it into simple things that we can understand and appreciate.
Landon, wow. I've sent stories to your awesome review. I've had it in my car, and read a few stories. You showed us your family, the process, and we love that.
Usually a video like this I would have cut it off half way through it. Particularly when it begins to sound like blah blah, look at how good we are. Yet that did not happen. You said, do not write for the Raleigh Review, but find your passion and if we are match go for it.
Again, thank you for a great interview. I am looking forward for more.
Quick question: it was mentioned in the email that Raleigh Review accepts nonfiction, but I don't see this category on their website or Submittable. Any clarification? Thanks so much! (appreciate these interviews greatly!)
It's great to hear about a publication that values diversity in its readers and editors, ensuring a wide range of perspectives in the selection process. Thanks for sharing this sneak peek into the world of Raleigh Review and the thoughtful approach they take towards each submission.

This was an excellent discussion - lots of great info - and a kind and impressive attitude toward writers and mission as a lit mag.
