ONLINE OVER ZOOM | THREE WEEKLY SESSIONS

Wednesdays, September 10 - September 27 | 7-9 pm EST

$250 (+$75 for Sammi to read, edit, and comment on up to 10 pages, $125 for up to 20 pages)

$220 for past Fledglings and paid newsletter subscribers (+$50/<10 pgs, +$100/<20 pgs)

Do you have a short story, essay, or a few poems (perhaps from a previous workshop!) that you’re ready to publish but you have no idea where to begin? In this three week crash course in submitting your original creative writing for publication, Sammi has crammed everything she’s learned from 13 years of publishing from print publications like The Sun, online outlets like [PANK] and Hobart, news outlets like Slate and HuffPost, and even in books like an upcoming anthology from Fulcrum Publishing. 

You’ll learn the ins and outs of submission calls, submitting to literary journals, pitching larger outlets, finding the right publications for your work, navigating submissions managers, selling yourself, and why the heck submitting work matters anyway. Like all Fledgling courses, this one will also be generative. Through in class writing time, you’ll end the course having created a Submittable profile, written a cover letter, an author’s bio, a pitch, and a submission plan. Together in our final session, we’ll send our work off into the world.

*I plan to only teach this course once a year, so unlike any other Fledgling workshop before, the more the merrier. You may join the course, even if you only intend to follow the recordings (which are not downloadable and expire after 60 days), though I still firmly believe in the power of working together in session.
