S128. Editors as Readers as Writers
Saturday, March 1, 2014
9:00 am to 10:15 am
As manuscript reviewers for Fourth Genre, we find some essays particularly appealing because they strike a writerly chord, inviting us to read as writers, and to enter into conversations by writing our own creative nonfiction for which these manuscripts are touchstones. Two essayists whose work will appear in Fourth Genre will read; members of Fourth Genre’s editorial board will make this conversation visible by reading the pieces that were thus inspired.
