“The magazine is named after Spoon River in Illinois. It is not to be confused with the Spoon River Anthology, which Steve cited as a common mistake submitters make.”
Note to self: Don’t mail submissions for the Winesburg Review of Short Fiction to Winesburg, Ohio.
My note is entirely to say hello to Steve, a really great guy with whom I attended New England College 20 years ago in pursuit of our MFA. And greetings to the lovely little town of Normal IL where I lived for a year in 2009 to 2010 when it was undergoing major renovation. So, hello Steve. Please tell me if Medici is still open. Loved that place.
Hi Bill! It's great to hear from you, and thank you for the kind words. I look back so fondly on days with you and all the other great folks at NEC. Yes, Medici is still going strong. I didn't realize you were in Normal—I've been here since 2008.
Ha! Then we missed each other. I actually lived in south Bloomington near a golf course. The Fox Den? We always went into Normal to hang out, have dinner, watch a movie at that old theater. I think there was a place called The Purple Onion. Maybe I got that wrong. I'm glad you're doing well. Best wishes to you. bg
Excellent interview and Q&A, @BeckyTuch. Thank you. It's so helpful to hear directly from the Editor, which would not have been possible without your Lit Mag News.

PS, great interview by the way. Should have mentioned that first!
