Building Literary Coalitions on the Margins

(, , , , )

The interactive panel discussion explores the challenges and rewards of running literary magazines led by and serving historically marginalized writers. Imagining our own systems outside of mainstream publishing, we aim to build mutually supportive coalitions to share resources and skills around publishing itself, as well as structural issues such as ethics around fundraising and financing operations. This event involves participation among not only panelists, but also audience members.
