Each event presents writers from three influential literary magazines—one fiction writer, one poet, one nonfiction writer—introduced by their editors.

Raymond and Ira will be joined by Rebecca Bengal of American Short Fiction introducing fiction writer Laura van den Berg, and William Pierce of AGNI introducing nonfiction writer Ben Miller.
