Q: What are your stories that got away?
"Why, when I love it so much, did it never get its place in the world?"
Welcome to our weekend conversation!
A few weeks ago we had a conversation around the question of whether certain subjects are too taboo for lit mags. I found the discussion that weekend particularly moving. So many of you shared stories of writing related to personal experiences which has been hard for you to place in literary magazines. These were stories of health struggles, miscarriages, childhood trauma, aging, and more. As I so often am, I was deeply touched by your thoughtfulness and willingness to open up in this space.
