Oxford American

I was the Jeff Baskin Editorial Intern for two issues of Oxford American—The Southern Lit Issue and the Southern Music Issue. Over these two issues, I worked as a fact-checker and copy editor, as well as a top editor on the editor's letter.

I was the top editor on this story:

“A Belief in Birds,” by Danielle A. Jackson

​

I was the fact-checker on these stories, and more:

“Woamn, White,” by S.J. Kim

“Slow Time,” by Tim Grieving

“Overnight Scenario,” by Karen Good Marable

Spring Issue: As the deputy editor, I acted as the lead editor on this issue and managed a team of copy editors. I led a total rebrand, focusing on literary stories and diving deeper into ideas our peers had, doubling our readership.


Here are two stories from this issue:

TJ Laggis, “Following the Footpaths”

Ka'Dia Dhatnubia, “The Art of Snakes and Disregarding Fear”

Square 95

Fall Issue: I was the editor-in-chief for this issue of Square 95. Together, my team and I chose the theme of Identity and worked with dozens of writers and artists to conceptualize what our myriad definitions of identity might entail. ​

Here are two stories from this issue:​

Ka'Dia Dhatnubia, “Rainbow Roots in Black Midnight”

David Dufour, “Escape from the Lodge of Sorrows”
