Get in-depth insights into the many aspects of submitting one’s work for publication. This class will examine the basics of where and how to submit short stories and essays, cover letters, keeping track of submissions, dos and don’ts, helpful tips, and how long it will take to receive a response. Learn what editors look for in submissions, which venues might be a good fit for your work, when to contact and how to interact with editors, whether or not to pay submission fees, and how to pitch an essay to a magazine that doesn’t accept general submissions. In short, this course will take a thorough look at every step in the sometimes overwhelming process of sending your work into the world.
