The Intern

Stephen Elliott bio ↓  ·  July 6th, 2009  ·  filed under Other

“Let THE INTERN tell you something about prominent literary magazines. This one was run out of the editor’s basement, and consisted of two people: the editor, and the managing editor (a former intern of his). That’s it. The internship consisted of riding around [city redacted] in the editor’s red sportscar listening to art gossip, with the occasional bout of being told what to like. The poetry world, waaaaaay more than the book-publishing world, is extremely tight knit and patronizy.”

The straight dope on publishing from publishing’s most fearsome figure—THE INTERN. (via the fine, fine people over at HTMLGIANT)
