What is literary citizenship? Creative writing teacher Cathy Day believes, "There are many ways to lead a literary life, and I try to show my students simple ways that they can practice what I call 'literary citizenship.' I wish more aspiring writers would contribute to, not just expect things from, that world they want so much to be a part of."
Day, who teaches at Ball State University and has published two books, has a great article that lists her principles of literary citizenship. Good food for thought for all of us who seek not only to publish but to be part of a healthy, thriving and supportive literary community.
