Engage with your work as your own editor, and get ready to submit to journals!
Designed for those who are eager to grow and polish poems to begin to submit to journals, this workshop focuses on manageably building revision, like writing, into your life as a practice. We’ll start every session with a warm-up, workshop poems, and discuss tips and strategies for revising and submitting work. By the end of the workshop you’ll have a stronger sense of how you can engage with your work as your own editor, track submissions, and have a polished packet of 3-5 poems ready to send to journals. Participants should expect to spend about 90 minutes a week on work outside of class. Please bring two poems to the first session.
