DISPATCHES from an Editorial Intern

Mardi mars 5, 2013

Outside Looking In I decided I wanted to go into publishing in early 2011. It was a good solution to my problems at the time. Problems like why I didn’t want to fill out arduous grad school applications and why I wouldn’t apply to law school (as members of my family fervently hoped I would). […]

Continuity in Film and Fiction

Mardi juin 4, 2013

Movies are usually shot in location order, not narrative order, which makes physical continuity important. Last week I was watching my favourite crime show, and the female lead wore a blue shirt in an interrogation scene.

The desciptive-prescriptive war is over. Long live the conversation.
