Oyez At Printers Row Lit Fest

Join us this weekend in celebrating literature, writers, books, and publishers at the Chicago Tribune‘s Printers Row Lit Fest. Oyez Review is teaming up with the Creative Writing Program at Roosevelt University to host a table where you can grab the latest issues of Oyez Review at a special Lit Fest discount. 

The Lit Fest is also a great time to see what other area presses and authors are up to. Catch a reading, sit in on a panel. Enjoy the nice weather! Last year, the Oyez table was the only table that didn’t have shade and the temperatures were well above 90 degrees. This year? 73. We really lucked out.

The Summer of Oyez 40

So far Oyez Review‘s fortieth year has been a great success. We’ve had several successful readings featuring our contributors, staff, and longtime friends, we’ve been to Boston for AWP, we’ve debuted our first full-color issue, we’ve even put out a new eBook.

And now, welcome to the new look of Oyez Review online.

But it doesn’t stop there! Next month, we’ll be at the Printer’s Row Litfest, handing out guidelines, candy, and selling the beautiful issue that gives us our current, orange color palette. Printer’s Row Litfest runs the weekend of June 8-9, and you can stop by and see us from 10AM. Need more details? Watch for announcements here, and on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
