You’ve made your story, essay, or poem the best it can be, and now you’re ready to get it published in a literary journal. How do you catch the eye of an editor? Our panel of journal editors from Poetry, Copper Nickel, Colorado Review, Virginia Quarerly Review, and more will chat about the submission process, what they look for in a piece, and mistakes to avoid when you’re sending out your work. You’ll leave better informed and inspired to submit.
