Are you ready to share your work with the world?

Polishing and pursuing publication can be creative and fulfilling experiences. We often believe that sitting down to write and sitting down to revise or send our work out demand different mindsets, but in this class I will encourage you to bring your creative energy to the process of engaging with the larger literary conversation. Remember your purpose for writing as you begin to send your work out into the world, and work through each step conscientiously to improve your odds of acceptance. The following modules will take you through the process of pursuing publication.

Introduction

Module #1: Polish
