Establish Your Publishing Career by Contributing to Literary Journals
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:
- Consistently get your writing published in literary journals
- Build a publishing record that establishes your credentials as an author
- Get your work noticed by publishers of full length manuscripts
- Reach a diverse audience with your writing
- Get your name in print (and on your bookshelf!)
- Gain access to better career and education opportunities
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.
