If you’re in the Los Angeles area, I’m reading at the Malibu Public Library on December 16th, Saturday morning at 11 AM, which I think is a nice time for a reading. There is an open mic after, and I’ll have some books for purchase.
If you’re thinking of starting the new year by diving into the literary journal world, you might want to come to my seminar Diving into the Muck: How to Submit Poetry, Not Become Defeated! The publishing process can feel daunting (to put it mildly) but in this seminar, we’ll look at both the nitty gritty and the big picture: where to submit, how to put together a submission packet (including the do’s and don’ts of cover letters), how to navigate editorial suggestions, acceptances, and, of course, those inevitable rejections! This 1.5 hour seminar on publishing in literary journals will help you to kickstart and/or streamline your personal submission habits, and perhaps most importantly, help foster a stress-free and healthy outlook on publishing. Open to ages 15+. Sunday, Jan 7th 10 am – 11:30 am PST
