This Fall, I joined Riddle Fence as the Creative Non-Fiction Editor. Since then, I’ve been sifting through hundreds of submissions, searching for gold. A few people have asked what exactly I hope to publish so here are some suggestions.

• fiction (ditto!)

• reviews (they are published online; get in touch with the managing editor)

• opinion pieces

• academic essays

• journalism

2. Strong writing. That might be poetry in motion — beautiful sentences that contain insight, interesting metaphor, or simply demand to be read aloud.
