“The Craft of Writing”

Literary magazines don’t have it easy right now, with more would-be contributors than subscribers (though the Internet helps them find readers). The Hopkins Review isn’t the oldest of surviving litmags–that honor goes to the Sewanee Review, published continuously since 1892–but with JHU’s support and a clear line of editorial succession in place, it’s got a pretty good model. I profiled the journal and its founding and current editors.
