Joanna Acevedo received her MFA from New York University in 2021 and also holds degrees from Bard College and the New School. She works as an editor for the Masters Review, West Trade Review, and Frontier Poetry, and has edited magazines and literary journals since 2019. She has published two books, including a collection of poetry and a collection of short stories, Unsaid Things, about which Joyce Carol Oates said: “Blunt, spare, tautly-honed stories in which lovers wound each other, betray and abandon each other, return to each other, fall in love, out of love, and back in love again, in a Mobius strip of hard-edged prose that captures the unsentimental sexual politics of our time.” She is passionate about editing and crafting writing that helps people achieve their goals in real time, as well as helping students become the best writers they can be.
