November is just around the corner. Or, put another way, just through that nest of creepy cobwebs, witches and ghouls on the horizon.
For next month’s Lit Mag Reading Club, we will be reading the fall issue of Missouri Review.
46.3 (Fall 2023): “The Curious Past”
Inside you’ll find historical fiction by Aaron Gwyn, a consideration of Norman Mailer in his centennial year by Bill Barich, along with stories by Genevieve Abravanel, Richard Bausch, and Joana Pearson, essays from Gregory Martin and Peter LaSalle, and poems by Tin Fogdall, Catherine Pond, and Mike Schneider. Also: arts features on Maud Allan and Edward Hopper, and a review of four recent poet biographies.

2023-2024 Reading Club Schedule & Discount Codes
Friends, I’m excited to finally share the full schedule for our Lit Mag Reading Club this year! If you are unfamiliar with Lit Mag Reading Club, it’s a club where we all get together and read one lit mag each month. At the end of the month, the journal’s editor(s) and contributors to that issue are invited to join us by zoom and answer all our questions.
As a reminder, the Lit Mag Reading Club is open for all to join, anytime. We read one lit mag each month, discuss the issue, then meet with the magazine’s editor(s) to learn about how the magazine works and how pieces were chosen for the specific issue.
Today we met to discuss our October lit mag, Ecotone, and it was a blast! Ecotone’s editor Anna Lena Phillips Bell will be joining us this Thursday to discuss the magazine. To register for that event, click here:
