"Pulp Faction" in The Writer's Chronicle


My article, "Pulp Faction", about the teaching of genre/popular fiction in writing programs, is in the current issue of AWP's The Writer's Chronicle. Naturally, as it deals with debased subject matter, it is listed last on the cover.

The article was born of a class assignment in Writing In The Secondary Genre. It did take the Chronicle, which actually insists upon the submission of completed work instead of taking queries like most magazines, nearly eleven months to get back to me, but after that things went fairly quickly. They even paid several months in advance of publication. So the mag isn't just some hopelessly ill-shaped thing designed to torture your mailbox, and students should certainly look at it as a venue for publication.
