SOLD OUT!
The sing-song title says it all: some groupings are just a perfect fit. The publishing panel celebrates agents, small magazines, and small presses: why and how they belong together, and why understanding their linked roles and relationships is vital if you want to publish, or deepen your connection to publishing in general. Ideal for writers, editors, agents, and anyone who wonders about the rhythm and rhyme of literary fortunes. Moderated by Susan Scott.

SUSAN SCOTT is the editor of Body & Soul: Stories for Skeptics and Seekers (Caitlin Press 2019) and the author of Temple in a Teapot. A deep interest in the interplay of the edgy, the iffy, and the sublime, and in championing neglected voices, informs her editorial instincts.
She serves as The New Quarterly’s lead nonfiction editor, retreat director, associate director of the Wild Writers Festival, and on the board of the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund. Her next book, Sainted Dirt, is a reckoning with land, language, family, and imperfect teaware.
