Our panel got accepted! We’re so excited to be chatting about teaching literary magazine publishing with The Missouri Review, @northamerreview.bsky.social, @greensbororeview.bsky.social, and The Rappahannock Review in Chicago this March! See you at AWP! #literarymagazine #pedagogy #amwriting

The Editorial Classroom: Teaching Literary Magazine Publishing. In literary magazine practicums, students gain invaluable skills that give them a serious leg-up in future publishing and editing jobs, while literary magazines gain invaluable assistance. In this panel, instructors in these classrooms dissect best practices and pitfalls in teaching students to evaluate submissions, correspond with writers, layout issues, navigate ethical challenges, and more. New and experienced literary magazine instructors alike will leave with a wealth of ideas.

Q: What does your name mean? A: We’re named after Independence, TX, where Baylor was first founded in 1845. We also like how “independence” is an essential part of creativity, artistry, inquiry, and exploration. Our magazine’s goal is to foster exactly this.
