SPRING WRITES 2020:

“One of the first places a writer can find an audience for their work is through literary magazines. But with so many venues to choose from and so much competition out there, understanding what lit mags are looking for can often be confusing. In this panel, Heather Bartlett, Kathryn Henion, and Barrett Bowlin — three multi-genre writers of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, who have each been published in a wide variety of journals — will talk about submissions, slush piles, serial rights, and how best to prepare your work for consideration.”
