Hands-on workshop where participants learn how to submit their writing to literary journals and magazines. The instructor will guide participants through platforms like Submittable and other submission sites, showing where and how to send their work. Writers will explore appropriate opportunities, prepare a piece, and—if they’re ready—complete at least one live submission during the session. The focus is on action, helping participants move from writing to sharing their work with the world.
