For writers, getting your work published and recognized is a step toward realizing your goals as an author. However, finding the right contests or publications can be challenging, time consuming, and even mystifying. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll talk through all the joys and perils of the submission process and the world of publishing poetry. We’ll review lists of helpful tips, look at ways to identify and find publishers who might be receptive to your work, practice methods to track and manage your submissions, and even talk about how to deal with rejection. We’ll cover strategies for submitting individual poems to literary journals, as well as strategies for submitting chapbooks and book-length manuscripts for publication, using the features of Submittable, a submission management system for the literary world. There will be a lot of time for questions and discussion, and our workshop will in part be tailored to your curiosities and interests. You'll leave armed with tools to identify journals and publishers that are a good fit for your work, the know-how to create a personalized submission strategy, and a new confidence in sending your work out for publication.
