  • Last but not least, join us at LITLIT 2024 for "Bodies and the Literary Landscape," a panel conversation on how publishing's attitude towards bodies has shifted in a myriad of ways in the past decade. From feminist body horror to fat representation to stories of chronic illness and mental health, form and genre plays a key part in how writer's explore self and subject. Join writers Sarah Rose Etter, Sarah LaBrie, Emma Specter, in addition to editor Allison Miriam Woodnutt as they discuss with LARB editor-in-chief Medaya Ocher the interplay of body as metaphor and storytelling mode. https://lnkd.in/ghyMDe2J

  • We're excited to announce our next LITLIT 2024 panel, “On Adaptation,” a conversation on the experience of taking a book to the screen! Authors Viet Thanh Nguyen and Anna Dorn, author and TV writer Jonathan Ames, as well as cultural critic Jane Hu, will discuss what it’s like to see their work, and others, be adapted for Hollywood. The conversation will be led by Paul Thompson, an editor and critic. Join us as we discuss how Hollywood’s interests have influenced the literary landscape, from what gets published to what gets written, and why we’ve seen such a rise in adaptation in recent years. https://lnkd.in/gqDTgDgt

  • LITLIT 2024 is so soon, and we're thrilled to announce the first of our four panels!

Moderated by Summer Kim Lee and featuring representatives from campus publications Westwind (UCLA) and Word Magazine (UCSB), Cal State LA professor Ren Heintz, and Words Uncaged founder Bidhan Chandra Roy, this panel will dive into how people produce, envision, and execute their publications that serve their community. https://lnkd.in/gZezwQwW

  • In "Writing with Research" with Lauren Markham, we will attend to the questions of how we transform the fruits of our research into vivid, meaningful prose. Through assigned readings, in-class exercises, large- and small-group discussions, and workshopping of participants’ prose, this class will serve as the container for a deep inquiry into the art and craft of fact-based creative work. Register by October 30. https://lnkd.in/gYX5Sj3V
