Demystifying the Submission Process: A Crash Course on Literary Journal Submitting & Publishing

I loved teaching this course at Open Books back in February, and I'm excited to offer it again this October!

Over the course of four weeks, we'll walk through the typical submission process from start to finish, gaining familiarity with the Submittable interface, Duotrope, and reading periods. We’ll discuss best practices, common errors, and strategies for staying organized, as well as which journals and presses might be a good fit for particular aesthetics. The course culminates in a submission party, where—side by side—we’ll put what we’ve learned to good use. There is also an option which includes a one-on-one consultation.
