Lori May’s roundup on Literary Citizenship

On her blog, Journeys and Destinations, Lori May offers a roundup of links about Lit Cit.

In print. Online. Everything. Hooray!

That itself is literary citizenship!

She says:

I couldn’t be happier to see so much discussion of late on the topic of literary citizenship. This is a topic near and dear to me and one I’ve had the pleasure of discussing at a number of MFA programs and community writing events over the years. We can never discuss this topic too much. Our involvement in the community—as writers, as readers—only nets good, as far as I’m concerned. Whether helping a small press get off the ground through volunteer hours, or sharing a recommended read with a booklover at work, a little good goes a long way in fostering not only our literary and cultural communities, but our regular old day-to-day life as people.
