Save the Dates! March Interviews & Info Sessions!
upcoming events...
Happy March!
Here is the line-up of events for this month.
Tuesday, March 18th at 2:30 pm est: Lit Mag Chat with Becky
Another month, more corny puns from Becky, and best of all another session for chatting about lit mags!
If you’ve been attending these sessions for a while, you know the drill. We’ll chat, we’ll dish, we’ll trade resources. We’ll discuss our wins and our not-yet-wins, our joys and frustrations, our questions, confusions, worries and laments.
The monthly lit mag chats are open to all writers, in all genres, at any stage of submitting and publishing. You will have fun, get all the information and guidance you crave, and (I hope) have a good laugh or two.
Lit Mag Chats are for paying subscribers only.
These sessions are not recorded. What happens in Lit Mag Chats stays in Lit Mag Chats!

Wednesday, March 19th at 10:30 am est: Q & A with Sarah Strickley, Editor of Miracle Monocle
Miracle Monocle is an online journal of innovative literary and visual art. Published bi-annually, the journal features poems, short stories, literary nonfiction, and a broad range of experimental works. We pride ourselves on serving as a home for flash and micro fictions of all varieties, as well as works with genre indeterminacies, fresh collaborations, and re-invigorations of more traditional forms.
This interview is open to all to attend and ask questions.
The conversation will be recorded, and the recording will be sent to all readers.
Tuesday, March 25th at 2:00 pm est: Lit Mag Reading Club Post Road & Ploughshares discussion
This discussion is for members of the Lit Mag Reading Club. We had to reschedule our discussion of Post Road, so I thought we could combine it with our March discussion of Ploughshares.
If by this time you’ve read a bit of both of these magazines, just one, some poems here and there, only the fiction, or all of every single thing, you’re welcome here! The conversation will be a fun and candid space for us to discuss what we loved, what we admired, what confused us, what intrigued us, what baffled, bored, delighted and inspired.
There is still time to get your Ploughshares discount. Click here to learn more about the Reading Club and claim 50% off the current issue.
This conversation will not be recorded. I expect the chat to be one hour but since we will be discussing both mags we might go a teeny bit longer than usual.
It is for members of the Lit Mag Reading Club (i.e. paying subscribers) only. All are invited to join anytime!

Wednesday, March 26th at 10:30 am est: Q & A with John Skoyles, Guest Editor (and former Poetry Editor) of Ploughshares
“Ploughshares has published quality literature since 1971. Our award-winning literary journal is published four times a year. Since 1989, we have been based at Emerson College in downtown Boston.”
In this conversation, we will hear from John all about how he came to be guest editor of this issue, his past editorial work with the magazine, what goes in to selecting work generally, and how pieces for the winter issue were chosen.
This interview is for paying subscribers only. It will be recorded, and the recording will be sent to paying subscribers.

Friday, March 28th at 2:00 pm est: Q & A with Christopher Boucher, Managing Editor of Post Road
I don’t yet have the exact day and time for this interview, but I hope to have this pinned down asap. It will definitely take place within the final week of March or the first week of April.
In this conversation we will get to talk to Christopher all about the history and mission of Post Road, as well as the specific decisions that went into curating the current issue.
This interview is for paying subscribers only. A video will be made available afterward for paying subscribers.
And that’s it!
I hope to see you soon.
