"The Energy of a Story." Q & A With Michael Nye, Editor of Story Magazine

a chat with Michael Nye

Dear ones,

Today I had the absolute delight of speaking with Michael Nye, Editor of Story Magazine. I have known Michael for some time, and he is truly among the kindest people in the biz,’ with an obvious and genuine desire to connect with writers and find great literature.

In this chat there were loads of questions from our audience. Thank you to all who participated!

We talked about what makes a story right for Story Magazine, what sorts of editorial work Michael will do with a writer, the process of selecting pieces for contests, how to make sense of rejections, what kind of stories Michael would like to see more of and less of, and the amazing feeling of being the first place to publish an incredible new talent. Plus, so much more.

Thank you so much to Michael for taking the time to share insights into his magazine. All of you, enjoy!
