How To Start A Literary Magazine
This last weekend I did an hour long presentation at Phoenix Fan Fusion on “How To Start A Literary Magazine.” I thought I would share the outline and links from my presentation in case anyone else finds it useful.

If I have learned nothing, it’s that there are lots of different ways to approach this, but here is my take on it as a way to add perspective to the discussion.
