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)
