Ready, Set, Submit! Getting Your Work Published

This course is designed to help writers navigate the process of getting their short-form work (short stories, creative nonfiction, and poetry) published in print and online magazines. The first half of the session will provide a practical overview of the following: how to know when your draft is ready to submit, how to research and identify appropriate venues for your writing, and how to use submission platforms like Submittable and Duotrope. You'll also learn how to write effective cover letters and stay organized with tools like submission spreadsheets. In the second half of the session, you'll put these strategies into practice through hands-on activities that target your individual needs, from exploring submission platforms and setting up a personalized tracking system to manage your submissions to drafting your own cover letter.
