Professional Submissions: Get Published with Lyzette Wanzer

TUESDAYS, July 14th - Aug. 4th | Have you been sending good work out to literary journals and contests and racking up nothing but rejections? Your submissions strategy and materials presentation–rather than your work–may be the reason why you're ending up in the rejection pile.

‍

• Do you know where and how to locate legitimate, respectable markets that are suitable fits for your work?
• Do your submissions follow professional conventions and etiquette?
  
• Is the format and delivery of your author bio and cover letter hindering you?
  
• How proficient are you in navigating the publication landscape?
  
• What should you do about simultaneous submissions?
  
• What are the most optimal ways to track submissions?

‍

In this month-long workshop, learn how to locate a breadth of suitable markets for your work and incorporate practical tips on formatting submissions that demonstrate polish and serious intent. We'll go beyond journals and consider opportunities such as magazines, call for papers (CFP) lists, and writing contests. This workshop is geared for short story, creative nonfiction, and poetry writers. Novelists who are interested in publishing manuscript excerpts are also welcome.
