Dates: 5 Mondays, July 21 - August 25 (No Class on 8/4) Time: 5:30 - 6:30pm (Pacific Coast Time) Format: ZOOM Ages: Adult Once you have submission-ready work, it’s time to get organized and strategize how/where/when to submit. In this five-week session, meeting every Monday from 5:30-6:30 p.m., Rachel and Anne will demystify the submitting process based on their experiences as writers and in conversation with editors. We will share resources and cover the pragmatics of organizing a submissions practice as well as discussing the psychological struggles of the process, helping you clear obstacles to gain and maintain a healthy relationship with the process. Whether you’ve been submitting for years or have never written a cover letter, this group will help you find new places to submit, remove obstacles, and provide strategies for creating a regular submissions practice. Your leaders, Rachel and Anne, have been submitting for years, across multiple genres and publication types. We will share what we’ve learned and the missteps we’ve made along the way. We will also be submitting right along with you! Note: To get the most out of this group, you should have at least one piece of writing that you feel nearly ready to send out for publication.
