Class Description
Are you ready to publish? This workshop is for people who would like to publish in magazines, journals, and websites. The focus will be on nonfiction submissions but poets and short/flash fiction writers are welcome.
Bring your best work to this seminar for an insider’s view of the submission process, including how to research the best venues for your work; the differences between pitching and submitting; how to write a cover letter; and best practices in working with editors. There will be short writing prompts to give you instant feedback that will help you hone your approach. You will leave with the tools, resources, and tricks you need to publish again and again.
This class will be hosted using live Zoom meetings! You will be able to participate in class via Zoom videoconference from wherever you’re most comfortable. All you’ll need is a laptop or a phone! About 15 minutes before your class is scheduled to begin, you'll receive an email from your instructor with a link to join the class meeting via Zoom–no need to download anything or sign up for Zoom in advance! If you have questions about remote learning, please feel free to reach out to [email protected] for more information.

Zoom Participation:
In our experience, the intimate nature of a writing workshop benefits from on-camera participation. Students are of course welcome to turn their camera off whenever they need to, but it is a community norm for cameras to be on most of the time. You can learn more about using Zoom here.
Zoom Accessibility:
You can enable closed captioning at any time during the meeting by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the screen. If you'd like to access the transcript after class, please make sure to let your instructor ahead of time that you'd like a copy.
