Time for a “New Engagement”: A Conversation with magazine founder and editor, Brian Alessandro from The LGBTQ Writers Caucus at AWP

“For those who follow our Facebook page, you might have seen the call for submissions for “The New Engagement,” a new literary & arts journal that pays particular attention to LGBTQ writers, especially those of color.  The magazine features the usual works of fiction (including novel excerpts), poetry, and creative non-fiction with an additional nod to photography, illustration, paintings, and film.  Additionally, “The New Engagement” has a clear emphasis on art as activism.”
