Dan Wickett

About Me

In 2000, Dan founded the Emerging Writers Network by reviewing Alyson Hagy’s Keeneland and emailing the review to 21 individuals. Throughout the years, Dan has continued to develop the EWN by adding interviews, e-panels, and other literary reporting to the itinerary and developing a database website for storage of these, as well as a litblog for more daily topic discussion. The network itself currently has over 2600 members.

Dan co-founded (with Steven Gillis) Dzanc Books in late 2006.

An anthology of short stories that Dan edited, Visiting Hours, was published by Press 53 in late 2008.
