Don’t Take No for an Answer: How to Submit to Literary Magazines and Independent Presses (Prerecorded) – Spring 2023

Submitting your work for publication can be an intimidating process, but this class will guide you through the entire process: from preparing your fiction, poetry, essays, and manuscripts for publication to writing a cover letter, from investigating magazines and presses to managing your active submissions, and from handling the sting of rejection to the thrill of acceptance. Taught by a widely published fiction writer—who has also endured close to 400 rejections—this webinar comes with lots of insider tips, moral support, and humor.

Whitney Collins graduated from Spalding University, where she completed a Creative Writing Teaching Seminar. She is also a mentor in the Carnegie Center Author Academy. Her book of stories, Big Bad, was released in 2021 and won the Mary McCarthy prize for short fiction.

This class is suitable for beginner and intermediate levels.

This class is offered as a pre-recorded webinar. The link to the video and any accompanying materials will be emailed to you after registering.
