Let’s have a chat about submitting work to literary magazines. The submission process doesn’t need to be stressful or mysterious. This happy-hour event will mix casual drinks and camaraderie with advice about cover letters, choosing magazines, and how to navigate the submission platform Submittable. We’ll also peek behind the curtain to see the perspective of editors and discuss strategies to make the submission process a fun, enriching part of your writing practice.
