Class Description
You've done the hard work, sculpting draft after draft of a literary story or essay so that it's ready for the reading public. Congratulations! But what now? With over 600 literary magazines in print and hundreds more online, how can you find the journal that's a perfect match for your work? In this class, instructor Jenn Scheck-Kahn, founder of Journal of the Month (www.journalofthemonth.com) and Tell It Slant (www.tellitslant.com), will introduce you to the world of literary magazines, demystify their operations and goals, help you develop practical strategies for getting your work into them, and send you home with invaluable submissions resources. Bring a polished story or essay to class (no more than 20 pages), and within two weeks, Jenn will recommend four literary magazines that publish like-minded prose.

Zoom Participation:
In our experience, the intimate nature of a writing workshop benefits from on-camera participation. Students are of course welcome to turn their camera off whenever they need to, but it is a community norm for cameras to be on most of the time. You can learn more about using Zoom here.
Zoom Accessibility:
You can enable closed captioning at any time during the meeting by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the screen. If you'd like to access the transcript after class, please make sure to let your instructor ahead of time that you'd like a copy.
