The Muse & the Marketplace 2016

Eileen O'Connor

Boston, MA

I'd like to talk about anything related to literature and life. That pretty much covers everything. I am particularly interested in translation, fiction for adults and YA, Latin American literature and Irish literature. I am also hoping to learn more about submitting to literary journals and writing op-ed pieces.
