Submissions are time-consuming and scary, and rejections far outweigh acceptances, so often we put off submitting our work for far too long. Let's make it fun! We'll have a brief chat about tips for a successful submission, then we'll get to it in the company of supportive peers.

This class will be hosted on Zoom. Please register here.

This class is being held for a suggested donation of $5. If you are not able to donate at this time, please go ahead and register, we want to see your faces!
