Lit Mags aren't Dead Yet! Networking through Publication

In this session, we'll talk about what literary magazines are, and why it's important for emerging and established writers to publish through them. We'll have a litmag "translation" exercise, tips on how to get the most out of a lit mag, and the secrets to writing a great cover letter to get an editor's attention. The skills you learn in this session can easily apply to other publication realms, including writing to agents and editors of small book presses.
