So here we are. The new 2011 Long River Review staff hard at work, looking at business cards, discussing our own favorite literary magazines and how to make our own humble production better. We discussed some excellent new ideas like a Flash Fiction contest, interviews with Uconn professors, and the overall quality of the submissions we had received and read thus far. So far so good.
