In this class, we'll focus on finishing up pieces that have been lingering in the almost finished state and getting them ready to send out for submission. We'll workshop stories that are in the near-final draft state for fine-tuning and polishing, discuss the formatting and structure that will be received best by editors, and explore the possible venues that might be a good fit for work. We'll draft and revise cover letters and talk about how to track and manage our work in the process of submitting it.

Students should bring at least one (more welcome) story or essay that is in progress to revise and prepare for publication during the course of this class. Week One: Why Publish? The Benefits of Community. Week Two: Final Draft Workshop. Week 3: Formatting and Reading with an Editor's Eye. Week 4: Finding the Proper Venue. Week 5: Cover Letters. Week 6: Tracking Submissions and Creating Good Submission Habits. This class is appropriate for anyone looking to begin sending work out or refine their methods of doing so.
