You’ve got a writing group and a critique group… why not a support group for submitting to literary magazines? In these four sessions, we’ll meet to compare notes, share our joys and frustrations, and support each other in submitting our writing far and wide. Each session will dive deep into one part of the process — researching literary journals, organizing a plan of attack, actually sending the work (!!), and decoding acceptances and rejections — as we build community and resilience with each other. Get motivated, get connected, and get your work out into the world!
