About

19 members set this contest as a Favorite.

The life and work of Jeanne Leiby (1967-2011) are remembered in our prose/graphic narrative chapbook series. As editor of The Florida Review from 2004 through 2007, Leiby breathed new life into the magazine. Leiby brought comics to TFR, initiated the journal’s first website, published the 30th anniversary issue, and established CRW 4724, the course that has offered internships and taught editorial skills to hundreds of undergraduate students at UCF. She also loved her work with both graduate students and with emerging authors. She left The Florida Review to become the first female editor of The Southern Review at Louisiana State University before her tragic death in 2011. She is fondly remembered for her boundless energy, love of literature, and intellectual vitality. We hope she would find solace in the publication of these chapbooks in the genres she championed over the course of her too-short career.
