Writers are often discouraged by the publishing process for good reason: Competition is high. Submission fees add up. Submission cycles take an eternity. Rejections are common. Acceptances are few. And oftentimes, our hard work is unpaid.
Like you, I’m a writer who has felt these same frustrations. When I became Editor-in-Chief of a literary magazine, however, I gained a new perspective on the publishing process that I’m excited to share with you. In this session, I will use my personal experience and lessons learned during my first year as EIC to give you an intimate look at the process, challenges, and rewards of running a successful publication and selecting submissions, and discuss strategies for getting your own work published in literary magazines.
