Congratulations to members of the Cincinnati Review family on their recent literary success: Editorial Assistant Katherine Zlabek won an AWP Intro Journals Award for her story “Hunting the Rut.” Her story will appear in Artful Dodge next year. Zlabek’s stories have also appeared in Madison Review, JMWW, Oxford Magazine, SAGA, The Rectangle, and the anthology …
This week, we’re meeting to finish our proofreading, a multi-step process involving the authors, managing editor, poetry and fiction editors, and assistant/associate editors. Each of us gets out our loupe and a brightly-colored pencil, and we pore through 200+ pages of the journal, noting things that would embarrass us if they made it into print …
Here at the CR office we read a lot of submissions. And we like doing it—and even though we can’t take every piece that strikes our fancy, every week we take note of a well-drawn scene, a lovely line, or a pleasingly complex character. Sometimes we let you in on trends we see in the …
CR’s own prodigal editor, Don Bogen (who also goes by the monikers “The Bogues,” “Bogedy,” and “Dr. Bojangles” ) was in San Francisco last Monday for the CR reading at the Stable Cafe. Here’s Don’s account of the event: By sheer coincidence, I had a chance to attend the first Greetings from Cincinnati Review reading …
Here at the CR office we come across a lot of different kinds of volunteers. There was one volunteer who earned a perfect score on his copy-editing test but who came in dead last in our goetta-eating competition (we like to celebrate Cincinnati’s German heritage); another ran screaming when we asked her to feed Pete, …
Lisa Ampleman: It’s hard to describe The Riots (University of Georgia Press, 2011), by Danielle Deulen (a new professor at UC this year), in terms that haven’t already been used. I want to say that the essays are beautifully lyrical, but the Great Lakes Colleges Association emphasized that quality when they awarded the collection the …
Our contributor Nick Johnson was generous enough to set up a reading for our latest issue that will feature fellow 8.2 contributors Rebekah Bloyd and Dan Bellm. This is going to be the biggest thing to hit San Francisco since the Dirty Harry movies. If you live within a 300-mile radius of San Francisco and …
This year, we’re doing it big: Our annual Robert and Adele Schiff Prizes in Poetry and Prose will now include an honorarium of $1000. One winning poem and prose piece (fiction or creative nonfiction) will be chosen for publication in our 2013 prize issue. The entry fee of $25 includes a year-long subscription. Submissions will …
Our T-shirts were a hit at AWP: Pushing , shoving, and literary insults ensued as aspiring and veteran writers alike forgot their manners in trying to snag one of these grammatically-instructive-yet-hip pieces of wearable art. Which means we’ve only got a few of these babies left—snap one up before they’re gone! Featuring superb artwork by …
Our heartiest congratulations to contributor Edith Pearlman, who won the National Book Critics Circle award last week for her story collection Binocular Vision (Lookout Books, 2011), which was also a nominee for the National Book Award (the only fiction nominee to be on both lists) and won the PEN/Malamud prize for short fiction. Pearlman is …
