You have the option of attending this workshop in-person at Thurber Center (91 Jefferson Avenue, Columbus, OH 43215) or virtually on Zoom.ABOUT
You’ve written an essay, a short story, some poems, or maybe a novel. So, what’s next, if you want to publish it? This session offers a step-by-step process for how to conduct a targeted search of where to publish your work, plus tips for organizing that process. Specifically, you’ll learn about online tools for doing a targeted search, the protocols for submitting your work (including links to drafting query letters), and how to create your own action plan. This session will also include a handout that lists ways to find agents (primarily fiction/novel) and non-agented, small independent presses. Please note: this session does not focus on how to self-publish your work.
