Article via thereviewreview.net:
“A magazine editor is a person who enjoys bringing new writing to the world in a publication that will be seen, read, appreciated, and talked about.
This is the first fact anyone submitting to a magazine should understand. There may be two editors, or five, or a rotating group of a dozen student-editors on a board, but for purposes of this essay, let’s consider one who, if not totally in charge, has a large say in what goes on. This editor is committed to the magazine, to it reaching a readership, to its identity and survival.
The editor wants nothing more than to read something so fresh and powerful and polished there is no question it must be in the journal.” –Lynne Barrett

Need help with your work or building connections with potential readers?
Portland Writers, an online group meant for these purposes, may be able to assist you. Workshop topics and information regarding events is also available through the website. Meet with other authors in the Portland area to have your work critiqued, or experience more of the local literary scene by attending readings.

Dear readers, we hope you’ve enjoyed your winter holidays.
The Grove Review would like to tell you of an upcoming event located in Newberg, Oregon, on January 13th:
“A Celebration of the Life and Poetry of William Stafford
Thursday, Jan. 13, 2011
George Fox University
Admission is free
The Center for Peace and Justice is honored to host an event in the annual January tradition of celebrating the life, legacy and poetry of former United States Poet Laureate and Oregon Poet Laureate William Stafford.
This event emerged through the efforts of Dennis Schmidling, chairman of the board of the Friends of William Stafford, who approached the Center for Peace and Justice and suggested its possibility. We are thankful for the Friends of William Stafford partnering with the Center for Peace and Justice and with the George Fox community in this celebration.
The beauty, poise and thoughtfulness exemplified in Stafford’s life and shown forth in his work correlates marvelously with our ethos as a university committed to sharing visions of peace and hope with the community.”
More information can be found here.
Guest speakers include Paulann Petersen, Lawson Inada, Ingrid Wendt, and Ann Staley.

Want to develop written work about Oregon? Here is an invitation via Oregonlive:
“A year ago, The Oregonian published an essay of mine listing eight Oregon stories that I thought, based on my experience of publishing popular books on the state’s history, could become books and potentially sell well across the region. The essay provoked a tremendous positive response, so what follows are eight more topics. Writers, feel free to poach.” –Author, Matt Love
The list can be found here:
Oregon tales in need of authors

Ryan Chapman, author of the literary blog Work in Progress, writes of his discussion with Andy Hunter here:
Electric Literature Interview
Hunter is a developer of new “narrative technology,” reaching out to readers and aspiring authors through online communication. Chapman and Hunter speak of the fast-changing ways of the publishing industry and take note of the rise in digital viewing of literature. Many individuals have become well aware of how important these issues are pertaining to literary journals, most of which are looking to keep the medium of print alive.
Here at the Grove, we are striving to delve deeper into our use of technology while maintaining a certain balance of distribution with the printed word. While we recognize the value of both mediums, the above article still contains some crucial and thought provoking points for literary publications to consider.
