Wherever you are in the writing process, submitting your work can be a helpful light at the end of the tunnel. But the world of literary magazines and small publishers is so expansive and diverse, it’s hard to know where and how to send your work out for publication.

In this workshop with Dennis James Sweeney, author of How to Submit: Getting Your Writing Published with Literary Magazines and Small Presses, we’ll talk about the landscape of literary magazines and small presses, strategies for achieving your publication goals, and how to navigate the meaningful but difficult act of sending out the writing you’ve worked so hard on.

You’ll leave the class with next steps for submitting your latest piece of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, or hybrid work. Join us if you’d like company in the exciting but daunting process of sending out your writing.

This presentation will cover:

• Where to submit your writing
• Formulating your submission strategy
• How to write a cover letter
• Setting up your documents
• Specific examples of published writing
• How to stay in touch with your goals as a writer and author
