Sundress Roundtable: So You Want to Start a Literary Journal (Part 1 <\/a>| Part 2<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recently, I [Iris] had the opportunity to participate in a two-part roundtable on Sundress Publications’ blog with a few other literary journal founders. As we just celebrated the tenth anniversary of LR<\/em>‘s first issue this summer (and are almost at eleven years in existence on the internet\u2014our blog first went live in fall of 2009), it was especially meaningful to get to look back and reflect on our early years. It was also fascinating to hear from the other editors about their publications’ stories and how, like us, many of them began their journals in response to a felt need or representational gap in the literary landscape. For Mia and me, the work of creating and publishing LR <\/em>has felt as much like a journey of self-discovery (for us as writers, editors, teachers, collaborators, and friends) as it has been an opportunity to serve by carving out a space for our community, and it was lovely to hear and learn from what others have figured out\u2014about themselves, about editing, about running a journal, about literary impact and community\u2014along the way. Our thanks to Sundress Publications and to panel coordinator Marci Calibretta Cancio-Bello (from Print-Oriented Bastards)<\/em> for the opportunity, as well as to fellow panelists Sarah Clark (from ANMLY, beestung, Bettering American Poetry<\/em>), Sarah Feng (from COUNTERCLOCK Journal),<\/em> and Luther Hughes (from Shade Literary Art<\/em>s) for their insights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
