Lies, I bought 3 books in under 30 minutes, I had to leave the bookfair.

Aaaand that’s a wrap on tweeting at #AWP23. Got a few hours to browse the bookfair then I’m headed home!

“At the end of the day, we are here for the work. You will not see profit, but you will see pieces, and the rest of the world will, too.” — @MellindaK ♥️

“How would you handle a scandal? How would handle Lit Twitter? You are handling people’s creative work, you need to be able to do you do that respectfully.” — @CdEskilson (2/2)

One last ICYMI thread from our #AWP23 panel! “What’s one piece of advice you have for someone wanting to start a literary journal?” #litjournals #litmags #publishing #indielit @ExpoReviewLit

To do that, “Its important to bring in interns, to give them more responsibilities. Its fun to see them evolve over time and expand their capabilities.” (2/2)

At @ExpoReviewLit we believe an essential piece of sustainability and longevity for indie #litjournals is building a strong community. Our #AWP23 #MeanttoLast panelists shared tips on making that happen:
