Megan Cummins is the managing editor at A Public Space, a tri-quarterly magazine. I reached out to Megan because I wanted to speak with someone who was working at a magazine that publishes disparate and untraditional pieces. I wondered how she got there, as a reader. It’s a great story, full of medieval heroines, Holocaust survivors, and 20-somethings in Manhattan.

A Public Space is a nonprofit magazine that publishes everything from fiction and art to nonfiction and poetry. Founded in 2006 by Brigid Hughes, who was previously the editor of The Paris Review, A Public Space focuses on challenging work that might be overlooked elsewhere, work that’s very true to its own vision. They also just launched a book division, with the first title coming out in December.
