&NOW

&NOW is pleased to present a panel of innovative publishers to discuss the present and future of literary publishing.  We’ve invited Richard Nash of Red Lemonade and Soft Skull Presses, Rebecca Wolff of Fence Magazine and Fence Books, and Mónica de la Torre of BOMB Magazine to present their ideas of where literary publishing is today and how it might evolve.    We believe this panel will be invaluable to our students and other conference participants, as it will bring to our conference a frank and practical discussion of literary publishing’s future from three of the most innovative and important literary and artistic publishing projects in the country.

BOMB Magazine delivers the artist’s voice through in-depth interviews between artists working across genre and media—collaborations that reveal their ideas, concerns, and creative processes through carefully developed dialogue—now and for posterity.
Named after Wyndham Lewis’s influential 1914 journal Blast, BOMB Magazine was launched in 1981 because its founders saw a disparity between the way artists talked about their work among themselves and the way it was described by critics. As a result, BOMB reinvented the question-and-answer format, developing an editorial method that delves deep into theory and practice, helping complex discussions to emerge. Like Blast, BOMB is edited by artists and writers.
Celebrating its 32nd year, BOMB pairs artists in conversation based on the relevance of their work to one another and nuances of personality. We transform lively, raw conversation into intellectually stimulating, yet immediate exchanges available on multiple platforms and across the web.
