PodLit #6: Mary Gannon - Poets & Writers Magazine Editor
Listen now
Description
PodLit 6 features Lee Gutkind's interview with Mary Gannon, Editor of Poets & Writers Magazine. Poets & Writers Inc., the nation's largest non-profit literary organization, supports writers of all genres, but, until recently, did not include creative nonfiction writers in their Poets & Writers online directory of writers. Mary discusses the recent decision to add creative nonfiction writers to the directory, and Creative Nonfiction's role in the exciting change. Mary also offers advice to writers who are looking to publish in Poets & Writers, a primarily freelance-written magazine. To read more about our Poets & Writers issue (Creative Nonfiction Issue 26), which includes Lee Gutkind's editorial that started the campaign for Poets & Writers to include creative nonfiction writers in their directory, click here.  For more information about Creative Nonfiction, the journal and the genre, visit www.creativenonfiction.org or e-mail us at [email protected].
