Literary publications often depend on the contributions, support, and assistance provided by undergraduate interns. Managing this relationship can be a tricky process, often without specific, tangible rewards or payment. In this panel, editors from a wide range of literary journals reflect on their experience working with interns—how to establish a fruitful relationship, how to train them, how to help them develop editing and publishing careers, as well as the joys and trials of the process.
