Transparency, Promotion, and Design: Tools for Building Stronger Lit Mags in Lit Mag News

I’ve had the good fortune of being published in Becky Tuch’s Lit Mag News. Lit Mag News is a popular site for writers interested in literary journals. Because of the popularity of the site, my article “Transparency, Promotion, and Design: Tools for Building Strong Lit Mags” will probably be my widest read work to date. This is fantastic as I’ve been able to include links to my other work within the article, thereby sneaking in some self-promotion alongside the main message. The other good news is that Lit Mag News is a paying publication. This will be the first paycheck I will have earned from writing, and because of this, Becky Tuch will always have a special place in my heart.
