Talin Tahajian – Editor

I'm a longtime editor of poetry and can provide extensive feedback (both broadly/developmentally as well as at the level of the line or syllable) on book manuscripts and other portfolios of creative work: I was a senior editor in poetry at THE ADROIT JOURNAL for nearly ten years and currently serve as an assistant editor for THE YALE REVIEW.

I'm a PhD student in English literature at Yale with two starred first-class degrees in English from the University of Cambridge (BA & MPhil) and an MFA in creative writing/poetry from the Helen Zell Writers' Program at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where I won a Hopwood. My own poetry has appeared in POETRY MAGAZINE, NARRATIVE MAGAZINE, BEST NEW POETS, COPPER NICKEL, THE IOWA REVIEW, THE KENYON REVIEW, PASSAGES NORTH, PLEIADES, THE RUMPUS, TRIQUARTERLY, WEST BRANCH, MIZNA, THE GEORGIA REVIEW, THE MISSOURI REVIEW, PERIPHERIES, and elsewhere.

When writing me, please include your complete WORD COUNT in your brief (rather than your page count). Currently open to taking on new clients. Thank you so much!
