On labels

and how we shall apply them to our posts:

meta-blogging
This label applies to blogging about this blog, i.e., mostly setup stuff done by yours truly.

publishing
If you're writing on how you collect, rate, and choose pieces for publication, along with all the other technicalities of getting the magazine out, you are writing about "publishing."

lit crit
Have an inspiring insight into your favorite fiction (or poetry) (or whatever)? Lit crit it.

prose
Flash fiction? Brilliant, brief essay? That's prose.

poetry
By now quite obvious.

your-lit-mag-here
This label - be it Nassau Literary Review, Yale Lit, or the other publication name of your choice - is about upcoming events at your very own literary magazine!

Creative and ad hoc labels (i.e. autumn, T.S. Eliot, pretension, bubbles, orange) are also welcome, but these more general ones are useful for navigation purposes, so please use them!

Nass Lit update

Hi guys (or should I say Erin),

The poetry and prose staffs of Nass Lit are finishing up rating submissions this week. The art editors are planning to have three meetings in the next two weeks: one with each other, one with the staff, and one with me. Hopefully, everything will be on schedule! And, obviously, Erin is working on this blog and on the website.

Welcome

to Ivy Lit!

My name is Erin Sherman, and I'm webmaster of Princeton's literary magazine, the Nassau Literary Review. I will be your host for this exciting period of testing and fiddling around with blog templates.

Soon, we hope to fill this space with insightful, informal literary chatter between the staffs of various Ivy League literary magazines. Stay tuned for developments and new bloggers!
