Are you on the short story submissions grind? (Or in the query submission trenches?) This class will help you manage the calendar!
Writing a story is one thing. Playing submissions tetris – or matching your story to the array of submissions calls out there, many with clashing deadlines or themes – is quite another! In this workshop, we’ll build a spreadsheet that we can use when submitting stories to magazines and anthology calls; we’ll talk about how to weigh different submissions criteria, such as payment, response time, and prestige; and we’ll look at a variety of markets and discuss how best to prioritize submissions for your own fiction and career goals.
