'Ferociously witty and joyously unrepentant, Infamous wraps a
rollicking story of Regency revelry excess around a heart of queer
love and the power of self-authorship' Kat Dunn 22-year-old
aspiring writer Edith 'Eddie' Miller and her best friend Rose have
always done everything together-climbing trees, throwing grapes at
boys, sneaking bottles of wine, practising kissing . . . Now that
they're out in society, Rose is suddenly talking about marriage,
and Eddie is horrified. When Eddie meets charming, renowned poet
and rival to Lord Byron, Nash Nicholson, he invites her to his
crumbling Gothic estate in the countryside. The entourage of
eccentric artists indulging in pure hedonism is exactly what Eddie
needs in order to finish her novel and make a name for herself. But
Eddie might discover that trying to keep up with her literary
heroes isn't all poems and pleasure . . .

University literary journals allow students to create their own
venue for learning, have a hands-on part of their development in
real-world skills, and strive towards professional achievement. But
producing an undergraduate literary magazine requires commitment,
funding, and knowledge of the industry. This practical guide
assists students and faculty in choosing a workable structure for
setting up, and then successfully running, their own literary
publication. Whether the journal is print or online, in-house or
international, Creating an Undergraduate Literary Journal is a
step-by-step handbook, walking the reader through the process of
literary journal production. Chapters focus on: defining the
journal; the financial logistics; editing the journal;
distribution; and what could come next for a student writer-editor
after graduation. The first book of its kind to offer instruction
directly to those running university-based literary magazines, this
book includes insights from former editors, advisers, students and
features an extensive list of active student-run literary magazines
key literary organizations for writers/editors who serve literary
publications. From Audrey Colombe, faculty adviser on the
award-winning Glass Mountain magazine from the University of
Houston, this is a text for both newcomers and those more informed
on the production process to help them navigate through a
successful publishing experience.
