Carol Ann Fitzgerald, managing editor of The Oxford  American, will present her lecture, “How to Pitch, Write, and Work for Magazines” at 3 p.m.  Tuesday, March 8, in UALR’s Ross Hall 123.

Presented by the English Department, this event is free and open to the public. Fitzgerald’s lecture is a follow-up to Warwick Sabin’s lecture last month on magazines in the new digital age. Sabin is the publisher of The Oxford American.

Before moving to Arkansas, Fitzgerald lived in New York City, where she worked in book and magazine publishing and received an M.A. in English and creative writing at New York University. She has published fiction and nonfiction in various publications, including Ploughshares, The San Francisco Chronicle, and The Gettysburg Review.

Based in Conway, The Oxford American has featured the original work of Charles Portis, Roy Blount, Jr., ZZ Packer, Donald Harington, Donna Tartt, Ernest J. Gaines, and many other distinguished authors, while also discovering and launching promising writers in the region. The magazine has also published previously unseen work by such Southern authors as William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Walker Percy, James Agee, Zora Neale Hurston, James Dickey, and Carson McCullers.
