Sean and John will share their journeys, from the high hopes that accompany submissions to the frustration of waiting for rejections that inevitably arrive (if at all) on the same day the car won't start or the youngest child needs braces. Such is the writing life, with some laughs along the way.

Join other writers to identify the literary magazines and journals most receptive to your writing. This workshop, for fiction writers, poets, essayists, and reviewers at all levels from beginner to professional, will help you submit a manuscript that gets noticed.

Led by poets Tim Conroy and Susan Madison, this workshop will explore the poetry of practice, unpredictability, surprise, and image. Through daily practice, we suspend judgment and expectation and discover how the poem rises from what we observe—touch, taste, smell, hear, and see.
