F221. Sustainable Print: How to Make It As an Indy Lit Mag

B113, Oregon Convention Center, Level 1
Friday, March 29, 2019
1:30 pm to 2:45 pm

 

What does it take to make it as an independent print journal today? What are the challenges and benefits of navigating a precarious literary market without the support of an institution? Editors will discuss tactics for survival as well as issues related to sustainability and aesthetic vision: how to pay contributors, whether to charge for submissions, how to value creative labor, how to design within constraints, and how to create a niche in a dynamic literary landscape.
