Mapping the Maze (Poets & Writers)

Presenter: Fiction Publishing Workshop
As described on the
Poets & Writers site:

Trying to get your work published can feel like wandering in a maze. If you are running into one dead end after another, not sure which way to turn, Poets & Writers can demystify the process and help you reach your destination—publication. 

Mapping the Maze is a four-day workshop designed for poets and writers of literary prose (fiction, nonfiction, creative nonfiction) who have developed their craft and are now ready to make a concrete plan for getting their work published. 

In this workshop you will:

  • Learn to prepare submissions to literary journals and presses

  • Get tips on querying literary agents

  • Network with established authors as they share stories from their own paths to publication

  • Be introduced to Poets & Writers’ online resources

  • Leave with a clear, actionable plan outlining your personal publishing goals and the steps you will take to achieve them

  • Gain insight into the business side of publishing (contracts; author rights)
