Is Your Work ‘Good Enough’ for Publication?

Date: Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025
Time: 9:00 - 10:00 AM PT (or 12:00 - 1:00 PM ET) + 15 min Q&A
Location: Virtual (Zoom)

As writers, many of us already second-guess our voice, work, and inherent value as a person on a regular basis. So how on earth are we supposed to know when our work is “good enough” to submit to lit mags? First, we have to understand that “good writing” is subjective: It varies across readers, editors, and journals. Because of this, it’s helpful to focus on when our work is “ready” instead of “good enough.” Join Janelle Drumwright for a discussion of specific steps we can take as writers to do our best work and know when our writing is ready to submit.

This (and all future education through Sub Club) will be free for paid subscribers. So if you’re into this sort of thing, become a paid subscriber here:
