What doors does The Offing open for you?
The Offing has provided a platform for development and growth as a writer and an editor in the evolving and often treacherous lit world.
Is there a piece you’ve worked on or found at The Offing that’s been especially meaningful to you?
My favorite piece we have published was E. Jane’s piece “The Coded Body.” As a fan of Jane’s work, I was very pleased with how the Enumerate team allowed for such depth and created a comprehensive profile of the work.
