I'll be presenting on On-line Publishing as a part of this last installment of City Festival.

I'll be talking about aspects of on-line publishing that both complement a print practice (i.e. on-line lit mags & promotions by boutique chapbook publishers such as Leaf Press and Greenboathouse Books) and those that replace in-person communities (i.e. writers' forums, individual blogs, and group on-line poetry projects).

If anyone has any suggestions as to particularly excellent websites / on-line mags / blogs, I'd be happy to get them...
