So you want to submit your work to literary journals! How do you figure out where to send your stuff? What do you write in a cover letter? How do you format your work? How much freaking out should you do while you wait for a response?
In this hour-long workshop, we’ll break down the process of submitting your writing to literary journals and take the mystery out of it, step-by-step. We’ll talk about how to handle rejection, how to keep track of your submissions, what you can do to make your work stand out and so much more!! We might also talk about corgis, because corgis are cute.
*this is not a generative workshop. We won’t be sharing or critiquing work. But those are things that you should definitely do! Some handouts will be provided, but bring something to take notes, because notes are cool!
