Minneapolis's Graywolf Press is looking for new writers in a very public place--in the pages of "A Public Space," a literary magazine based in Brooklyn.
Founding editor Brigid Hughes, formerly with the Paris Review, will become a contributing editor to Graywolf, scouring her magazine's submissions for work that might fit well with Graywolf. Graywolf, in turn, hopes to publish two books a year with "A Public Space Book" printed on the back. Hughes will be responsible for editing the books, and Graywolf will publish, promote and market them.
As Graywolf publisher Fiona McCrae points out, many Graywolf authors--Francis Spufford, Ander Monson, Salvatore Scibona and others -- have also been published in A Public Space. "Our editorial visions are already aligned," McCrae said in a press release.
Graywolf Press is a nonprofit literary press in Minneapolis that has, in recent years, published the works of Nobel Award-winning writers Tomas Transtromer and Liu Xiaobo.
