In today’s publishing marketplace, as more poets seek opportunities to publish their work, the acceptance rate at some literary magazines and small presses is staggeringly low, often forcing editors to place good poetry in the rejection pile. Entering poetry competitions prove to be just as challenging and competitive, in addition to be being costly. So, what’s a poet to do?
In this workshop we will discuss innovative strategies for getting your poetry published, including non-traditional platforms and practices, such as self-publishing.
Families welcome. Coffee and snacks provided. Teens are welcome to attend with an older relative. We will provide simple activities to keep young children occupied.
Who Should Register?
Write Down the Street has a special focus on making the creative writing workshop more accessible to those who have been underrepresented in it due to cost, racism, immigration status, language access, lack of access to transportation, and other barriers. We believe that these voices must be spotlighted with the range and fullness they deserve.
These programs are offered tuition-free thanks to the support of generous donors who are committed to our mission of ensuring all voices are heard.
