It's so grounding and helpful to be introduced to Sarah, Eloy, Mina, Haley, and Nora in a conversation that reiterates the publishing world is built on relationships. Living outside of NYC, these conversations feel especially valuable. Thanks so much, Alia.
This is great. On the off chance that Sarah sees this, would she have any recs for getting into the English-speaking literary community in Beirut? I moved there recently but haven't been able to meet other writers yet.
Hi! First thing that comes to mind are the folks at Rusted Radishes which is a bilingual lit mag: https://rustedradishes.com/. The literary community tends to hang around Café Younes in Hamra as well. I can also ask a friend of mine from AUB who is now a prof in the English department if she'd like to be connected with you, if you give me your info? I can be reached at sarah@calligraphlit.com!

Thank you so much, this is very kind!
In Hamra I've only been to Barzakh so far. Will have to go back soon to check out Café Younes.
So much great info!!👍📚🤗
Great insights. Thank you so much. It definitely helps to read the acknowledgements but it’s also exciting when you love the same books an agent does.
