Poets & Writers Magazine

If you aren't familiar with Poets & Writers magazine and are a creative writer working on building your publication list, you should check it out. Oboler Library has copies of it! The current issue is in the current display area on the 1st floor, and back issues are up on the 3rd floor with the call number PER PS129 C55.

Poets & Writers has numerous articles about writers and writing. Every spring they feature a guide to all the summer writing conferences. I have the Sept.-Oct. issue beside me now and am noticing articles on: small press innovation, the chapbook renaissance, how to bind a chapbook two differnet wasy, agents and editors, articles on Lorrie Morrie and Anselm Berrigan, and much more. One of the highlights is the Deadlines section with numerous publication calls, awards, and grants.

So check this out! It's great for professional writers. If you're looking for something a little more mainstream, The Writer and Writer's Digest are also on the Current Display shelf, with older issues on the 3rd floor.
