This week's ep is all about lit mags! ✨

If you're exploring this space and trying to figure it out, this podcast ep is for you.

I discuss how to find the right magazine for your story, the importance of reading widely, and the realities of rejection in the submission process. 

I also explore the culture and industry of literary magazines, including issues of elitism, gatekeeping, and the value of punk/DIY publications.
