Literary Magazines & Contests

Literary Editing


In 2013, Brookes co-founded and continues to co-edit The Mackinac, an online poetry magazine. In addition to editing the magazine, she curates each issue's Companion Playlist on Spotify and writes "The Liquor List," pairing each poem with a beverage. She shares responsibilities formulating interview questions for the featured poets and managing the social media accounts and email marketing campaigns.

Starting in 2017, Brookes has held the position of Development Manager of Cream City Review, a graduate literary journal operating out of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In this role Brookes spearheaded the magazine’s rebranding efforts, overhauled its social media presence, and conceived and implemented a community outreach branch of the journal. She was also one of the coordinators of the Eat Local::Read Local poetry series, a celebration of Poetry Month that showcases partnerships between local restaurants and poets from Wisconsin.

​Brookes supervises students publishing the undergraduate literary journal, Furrow, the 2018 winner of AWP's National Program Director's Content Prize. Her duties include contributing to the course textbook on literary journal production, overseeing the marketing, fundraising, and event planning teams, and managing the magazine’s poetry editors.

In addition to her editing work, for three years Brookes served as a judge for the Delaware region in the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers’ Scholastic Arts and Writing Awards.
