Class Description
Get closer to the literary journals and publishers you admire with this specialized series of seminars. The Sessions with the Editor series offers insight into the featured publisher's aesthetics, archives, how to submit, and the editorial process– straight from the editors! In this informative 3-hour session, featured editors will talk about their journal or press and share their insights, including some of their favorite published pieces. They will also answer your burning questions about writing, editing, and submitting! These seminars are great for any writer interested in learning more about the editorial process for literary journals and presses, or writers who are actively submitting.
On Saturday, February 24th, get to know Abode Press. Mike Zendejas, Senior Hybrid Acquisitions Editor, will lead this informative session. Abode Press is an intersectional, anti-racist 501(c)3 nonprofit publishing press dedicated to uplifting underrepresented voices. Our values are a reflection of what empowers us to create change. Our mission is to create, promote, and distribute work that educates, empowers, and speaks to a range of experiences and identities.
