Through focused discussion and practical examples, participants will learn how to assess readiness, identify appropriate literary journals and agents, and navigate the submission process step by step, from final revisions to tracking responses. The workshop will also include guided discussion of query letters, with time devoted to constructive, actionable feedback. By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with a clear submission plan, a stronger understanding of the literary marketplace, and concrete next steps for sending their work out with confidence. Participants are encouraged to bring a piece of writing they are considering submitting and a draft of a query letter for feedback.
