Over on LitBridge today there's an interview with our tall drink of water and editor-in-chief Simmons Buntin. Here's an excerpt; read the whole thing over at www.litbridge.com/2013/04/05/interview-with-terrain-org. What sort of qualities do you look for in a manuscript or piece of work that you are considering for publication?  Surprise, delight, tone, voice—you know, excellence. What we seek is place-based work that sings (sometimes literally). That’s broad, I realize, but if you look at Terrain.org, you’ll find we like a variety of work in a variety of styles. In nearly every case, however, the work is eloquent, concise, and questioning. It has a sense of place, or a yearning to find that sense. What we don’t want is the stuff everyone has read before, or that feels like that—the nature walk, the suburbs are bad, the end of the world. Unless it knocks are socks off, which sometimes it does. And we don’t like typos. Now get ye over to the full interview.
