Tri "Quarterly" Online!

TriQuarterly Online is Northwestern University's literary magazine, edited by the MFA/MA students in the program. Supervised by faculty, and distributed around the world, the magazine also makes good use of web publishing, using video and audio content as well as the written word! Check them out!

But first, one more bit of news on Christine!

Pen/"Very Big Deal"/O.Henry!

Her short story, "The First Wife", published in the Winter 2011 issue of New England Review, has been chosen for the 2012 Pen/O.Henry Prize Stories Anthology! Coming out in April 2012, she will be published with the likes of Yiyun Li and Salvatore Scibona, in one of the most renown and longest anthology series out there! Goodness! Be sure to congratulate Christine after she reads this Friday, and certainly after you eat the free curly fries and mozzarella sticks!

Hooray for Kyle Beachy!


Congratulations to Kyle Beachy, who has been awarded the new tenure track position at Roosevelt's MFA program.  Beachy has been a great addition to the fiction team this past year, and we are so excited to see him stay on.  It's like we've borrowed a book from the library, and then Harold Washington himself tells us just to keep it!

To read some of Beachy's work, check out PANK magazine, which has recently published his short story "Everett Pike, Nearly." You can also let Beachy read this story to you at PANK's website.  Hooray for Beachy, for this publication, and for the many wonderful ways you will enhance the MFA program in the years to come!
