Let's get published! Submitting can be a scary process, but it's much more fun with friends. You can choose to submit to agents, top-tier literary magazines, lower-tier literary magazines, blogs, academic journals, newspapers, or wherever else you may wish to see your work.

Let us know at the beginning if you are an experienced submitter or if you have questions about the process. After introductions, we will split the group into two, one will begin the submission process immediately and the other will stay and ask questions until they are ready to begin.
