Events › Get Published: How to Submit and Sell Short Pieces for Publication

Join author and editor Jalyn Renae Fiske for a workshop on the ins and outs of submitting short stories, poems, and creative nonfiction for publication. She'll go through the how-to steps of formatting, finding submission calls, submitting, and keeping track of your progress. Look at example rejection and acceptance emails and contracts. Plus, if you're ready, you can even submit your first piece by the end of class to kick off 2025 with a proper writerly start.
