Editorial adviceEditors talk with Michael Knost about what they're looking for
- I liked: "I submit to publications I like. It’s not personal." Most interestingly, I pondered "After an editor rejects three pieces of my work, I move on." As an editor myself, I read all works sent in. I did associate certain writers with certain styles that did not appeal to me, but I maintained the same vision as an editor. I tried never to let bias enter in--going over poems multiple times without the authors' names attached--and I did find poems I liked even when the writer had submitted many that did not grab me. The above statement did not mirror my editorial practices. If some editors are that way, they're losing out. I hope she's mistaken.
