Have you written a poem, essay, short story, or other literary piece that you’re eager to get published? Do you have questions ranging from “how do I publish a book” to “how do I find publishing opportunities”? Literary Publishing 101 is for you! Led by award-winning poet and memoirist KB Brookins, this workshop will cover the basics of putting together a submission to literary magazines and presses, from writing a 3rd person bio to what to expect in a writer-editor relationship once you get a yes.
