Join Tynan Kogane (New Directions), J. W. McCormack '15 (The Baffler), and Camille Bromley (The New York Times) for a frank and demystifying conversation about pitching and publishing. This 90-minute session will cover topics such as how to get your foot in the door, how to pitch editors, general best practices for freelancers, and what, exactly, is a “peg”? Panelists will also field questions from the audience. Adjunct Assistant Professor James Yeh '09 (writer and former deputy editor at McSweeney's Quarterly) will moderate.
