Literary Journal Report

On Tuesday, 12-3, your journal reports are due.

Here is what I'd like you to do for that assignment:

• Read and research 3 literary journals. There are copies of many of these in the library, but you can also find some online and some at Barnes & Noble. Do NOT research The New Yorker, as I feel we can a pretty good notion of The New Yorker from BASS, but anything else is fair game. You can buy the 2014 Writer's Market here, if you want to have a pretty full list. Most Barnes & Noble will have hard copies of these in stock. I like the hard copy over the ebook because this is the kind of book I like to mark and highlight and stick tabs in.
• Type up the following:
• The name of each journal you researched
• The place on the "ladder" as you see it. Is it a top tier journal? Middle? Is it respected? Would an agent read this journal? 
• The gist of the kind of fiction this journal tends to publish (as far as you can tell) and the work it publishes by authors we might know, and anything that makes the journal unique in your eyes / any aspects of the journal that it would be helpful to know about.
• Which of the 3 is most appealing to you as you're deciding where to send your short story? Why?
• Come ready to discuss.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
