UMD student coordinates visit from editors of 'Rain Taxi'

Writing Studies and English double major (and Creative Writing certificate holder) Courtney Brunn organized a Zoom visit from the editors of Rain Taxi.

According to the Rain Taxi website,

Rain Taxi is a literary organization that fosters engagement with innovative writing through programs and publications. Our main vehicle is the award-winning print quarterly Rain Taxi Review of Books.  Rain Taxi exists for readers and writers, literary publishers of all shapes and sizes, booksellers, educators, and kindred spirits who want books to keep flourishing in a distracted society.

The discussion was wide-ranging.  Brunn is jumpstarting a career in publishing early by reaching out to this nationally recognized press and by organizing this event.
