Editorial Comment Highlights |
| |
From time to time the editors
are invited to visit schools and talk about
writing, editing and publishing. |
| |
| It can be a scary experience
to face the blank page. It is daunting, as anyone
who has tried knows only too well. An even bigger
obstacle, however, is having the nerve to send
one's work to a magazine. What might editors
think? Will they laugh? Sneer? Use my work as
a coaster? |
|
| While more than one literary
effort has borne the brunt of posing as a coaster,
every submission received by editors of literary
magazines is considered reverently. |
|
| The assumption is that the
work received is not a slap-dash first draft hung
with stamps. |
| |
| Virtually all of the work that
makes its way to print is the result of twenty,
thirty, fifty, sometimes hundreds of drafts. This
is not uncommon. It is routine. |
