New Creative Non Fiction Editor, Jennifer Derilo

Everyone, meet Jennifer…Jennifer, welcome to our slushpile. 🙂

We have a new Creative Non Fiction Editor, Jennifer (and if you haven’t noticed, we’ve re-titled Essays to Creative Non Fiction, with the intention of broadening the category). She’ll post here later but I wanted to mention the new CNF call for submissions specifying “work (memoir, reportage, letters, essay, etc.) that touches on themes including–but not limited to–identity, memory, family, culture, history, trauma, dislocation. Alternative formats and subject matter are nonetheless welcome.”

Jennifer and I (Fiction Editor Christine speaking here) met while pursuing our MFAs; very early on in our friendship, we discussed a pipedream of working on a litmag together (she is a sharp and encouraging editor, with a very good eye for talented work). That day has come.

Also–we’re open to submissions year-round. Every summer, the submission count dwindles (vacations? do we writers take vacations?)…but now that Labor Day’s around the bend, we’re looking to reading more of your work. Send them on in!
