What doors does The Offing open for you?
The Offing showcases writers that are vital and necessary, and grants me the opportunity to say that I work for a literary magazine that actually cares about marginalized voices.
Is there a piece you’ve worked on or found at The Offing that’s been especially meaningful to you?
“The Double Blind” by Tafisha Edwards. That piece destroys me, but the conversation it’s forcing is so necessary, and grim. I’ve never read anything like it before.
