LITERARY EDITING & MAGAZINE PUBLISHING,
AN EDITOR’S VIEW
Interview with Robert Stewart, Editor of New Letters
University of Missouri-Kansas City
Conducted by Valerie McDonnell, Student at Virginia Commonwealth University
(October 2007)
1. How do you uphold a code of ethics when choosing pieces to publish?
Stewart: I don’t understand this question. I choose the best writing I can find, whether written by my sister, or Annie Dillard, or my barber, Don. I don’t see what ethics has to do with it. The magazine is all about the writing. The Awards competition is different, because we promote an «anonymous» judging process; we maintain that anonymity with a scrupulousness the CIA could learn from. Here is our ethics: We do what we say we will do, and we are clear about it.
