Editor Interview: PRISM international

Describe what you publish in 25 characters or less.

Fresh, contemporary work.

What other current publications (or publishers) do you admire most?

There are some terrific magazines and journals, right here in British Columbia, that are publishing exciting, challenging work: Geist, Poetry is Dead, subTerrain, Room, EVENT.

What is the best advice you can give people who are considering submitting work to your publication?

Take risks. Give your readers the benefit of the doubt--they will get it.

How much do you want to know about the person submitting to you?

We don't need to know much--it's the work that counts. You don't need to list every publication credit, just give us the highlights, if anything. If you don't have a publication history, that's fine, too--just be courteous and straightforward.

If you publish writing, how much of a piece do you read before making the decision to reject it?

Everything gets read, all the way through.

What additional evaluations, if any, does a piece go through before it is accepted?

Each piece is read by at least two readers, plus myself. If we are considering it for publication, it will be read over and over and over again.

What is a day in the life of an editor like for you?

Slush pile, emails, edits, slush pile, coffee, slush pile.
