Founder & Chief Editor:
Jonah Bornstein works closely with authors to develop and prepare their works for publication.
He has taught poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction at universities in New York City and Oregon. He was cofounder and director of the Ashland Writers Conference.
In working with Jonah, I have come to realize that what makes him extraordinary as an editor is not only his skill with the English language, but his ability to facilitate the voice of each writer he works with. In my case, hearing my distinctive voice as a poet, the voice of the poem, and being able to bring out the best of both, are unique capabilities and talents which I have come to value highly. This is why I have continued to work with him as my editor.
