Reach an Audience and Find a Home for Your Writing
Many authors get a big rush when they finally finish a piece of creative writing. Whether you’ve finished a poem, short story, or essay, the feeling is often the same: Satisfaction that you’ve completed a piece of writing.
However, for writers who have active publishing careers, finishing a piece is just the first half of the process.
This course guides you through the second half of the process: Finding a home for your writing, so that it can reach readers, establish your credibility, and validate the quality of your work.
This course will teach you how to:
The course starts on October 19th and ends on November 30th. Everything is held online. Enrollment is strictly limited to 20 students.
During this four week course, Emily Harstone presents the system she has developed for building a wide record of publication across the world in literary journals and anthologies.
In this course, you’ll learn how to approach publishers with confidence, knowing that your writing is ready for publication.
You won’t be alone in the process. As part of the course, Emily Harstone will provide detailed feedback on your writing and give you personal recommendations of publishers who are a good fit for your work.
Even once the course is completed, you will remain part of the Authors Publish community – and have ongoing access to live office hours with Emily Harstone, so you can get your questions answered.
Emily Harstone, as the author of Submit, Publish Repeat is the ideal instructor for this course. In addition to helping many writers find publication as a submissions consultant, she has published widely in dozens of literary journals and anthologies around the world, for many years.
This course is the only way to get this level of direct feedback, training, and consultation from Emily Harstone. If you are interested, I encourage you to enroll right now.

In addition to the four weeks of training, Emily Harstone is generously offering personal feedback on your writing.
The course includes two rounds of feedback on your writing.
For authors of prose, you'll be able to get feedback on up to six thousand words, during each round. For poets, you may submit up to five poems, for each round of feedback.
Emily Harstone will also personally recommend publishers she believes are a good fit for your writing. She has had great success placing work as a submissions consultant, and this is the key part of the process.
Because of the intense level of personal feedback offered by Emily Harstone, we are strictly limiting this course to twenty students. Once we reach that number, we will immediately close enrollment.

Please note that Emily Harstone is not currently accepting private consulting clients outside of this course. That means the only way to work with her directly is to enroll in this course.
The course starts on Monday, May 25th, and ends on June 19th. The course comes with daily lessons you can study on your own time, and feedback on your assignments from Emily Harstone. Everything is online, so you can complete it from home.
Expect to spend around 30 minutes a day on the course. Some days will require less work, some days will require more. Daily lessons can be done on your own time. The meetings with Emily will be scheduled to best work for the entire class.
Because of the personal feedback Emily is providing, the workshop is strictly limited to 20 students. Once we reach that number we will immediately close enrollment.
This course is designed to help writers publish their poetry, short stories, creative nonfiction, and flash fiction. Both literary and genre writing work well for this course. Excerpts of a larger work are not ideal for this course. This course is ideal for writers of poetry, memoir, and short stories.
Please note that Emily will provide feedback up to 6,000 words of prose, five poems, and three flash fiction pieces for each round of feedback, for a total of two rounds of feedback.
This level of feedback is a large part of why we are limiting enrollment to twenty students.

Read MoreThe one thing I noticed is that there is little information about how to go about getting published. This course gives you insight on how to improve your writing, gives the opportunity to make friends willing to start writing groups, and gives the "secrets" to going about getting your work published. I learned and gained a lot more in this course than I had expected. The critiques received from the instructor and from classmates is invaluable. I feel more confident in editing my work, providing feedback to others, and knowing how to approach journals and where to find them. It is a confidence I didn't have before the course. Thank you!

The online forum is learner-centered, interactive, clear, and useful. There are opportunities to connect with others online; I've made a partnership with another writer in the course to exchange reading and feedback on an ongoing basis with one other. Thank you for this wonderful and pragmatic course!

She gave me helpful feedback on my work and was accessible via email for all of my questions. She offers live chats for her students, which are available even after the class is complete.
