Wordier's Publishing Salon: Sandra Gail Lambert

In this new series, we'll speak with authors about their paths to publishing. We'll also occasionally chat with the individuals behind various indie presses, literary journals and anthologies.

This week, we'll talk to Sandra Gail Lambert.

Sandra Gail Lambert and Sarah Einstein edited the anthology Older Queer Voices: The Intimacy of Survival. It was created out of their despair following the last presidential election and was Lambert's first time on the publishing side of the writing world. She'll talk about how they developed their call for submissions, methods of outreach, working with a co-editor, how to support contributors after publication, and what is was like to be the one sending out rejections and acceptances. Come prepared with any practical or philosophical questions about the process of creating an anthology.

Sandra Gail Lambert is the author of the Lammy-nominated memoir A Certain Loneliness and The River's Memory, a novel. She is most recently published in The New York Times and The Paris Review and is a 2018 NEA Creative Writing Fellow. Lambert lives in Gainesville, Florida.
