R200. Show Me the Money: Making Ends Meet in the Literary World

E141-142, Oregon Convention Center, Level 1
Thursday, March 28, 2019
12:00 pm to 1:15 pm

 

Five writers with experience in developing literary magazines, small presses, reading series, and other literary endeavors will have an in-depth discussion about the financial realities of the literary community that too often remain hidden. We’ll consider how these financial realities differ across race and gender, the importance of transparency, and how these disparities can be addressed within existing structures and outside of them.
