F170. Each One Teach One: Introducing New Writers to Literary Submission Procedures

Room 217D, Henry B. González Convention Center, Meeting Room Level
Friday, March 6, 2020
10:35 am to 11:50 am

 

It’s complicated. With so much anxiety about appearing in print, beginning writers’ negotiations with the submission process can be distressing. Questions must be answered: Why do I want to submit? Where do I submit? Am I ready to submit? What expectation should I have? The mysterious, frustrating and, nevertheless, important process of submitting manuscripts of all kinds will be debated and explained by professionals, all of whom have considered these questions as writers, editors, and teachers.
