For many writers, getting their work into literary magazines or anthologies represents their first step into the world of publishing. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to bring a piece step-by-step from concept to publication: from approaches to editing, to insight into how magazine editors assess submissions, to managing submissions processes and ensuring you understand your rights as an author. This session will also feature practical exercises and workshopping, with participants completing the session with the beginning of a project designed for literary magazine submission. Advice will apply across genres and will be relevant to short fiction and creative non-fiction.
Where: Maison Internationale des Associations, rue des Savoises 15, 1205 Geneva.
Time: 10:30-16:30
10:30 - 13:00 Workshop | 14:00 - 16:30 Critiquing session*
