Publishing Your Poems: with Carrie Etter
Writing Workshop
In this interactive workshop led by Carrie Etter, learn how to assess which magazines best suit your work and all about submission procedures, cover letters, response times, and more. Bring 4-6 printed pages of your own poems you'd like to publish, and if you like, a print or online magazine (accessing the latter on phone or laptop) you want to try.
