Are you eager to submit your fiction and nonfiction to literary magazines, but uncertain about whether or not the work is ready? (Does your work feel finished, or do you feel finished?) Not to worry! In this class, we’ll take a look at practical approaches and helpful guidelines for revising your work for literary magazines. We’ll also “peek behind the curtain” and discuss what literary magazine editors might be looking for in new work. The goal is for you to leave this class with clear advice that you can immediately apply to current drafts—and to get submitting!
