How Does an Editor Think and Feel? This interactive presentation will examine the submission process, from finding the best places for one’s fiction to the tips on writing a cover letter. Evgeniya will draw on her experience serving on the editorial panel at the New England Review, Joyland, and The Threepenny Review to speak about the ways editors engage with the submissions they receive and how they ultimately make the decision to accept or pass on a story. The presentation will include practical examples, a helpful analysis of successful short story openings, and a brief writing prompt.
