While working with Pinch, I had the opportunity to interview an author we had previously published. The interview, included below, offered the opportunity to foster relationships both between author and journal, as well as with the greater literary community that Pinch has cultivated. By tailoring content to both the author and journal-relevant curiosities, we were able to work together to create a thought-provoking piece that opens up broader conversations about current trends in the creative writing field and the writing and publishing process for our audience.
