Join Women Who Submit 's Ashaki M. Jackson as she describes steps to submitting literary work. Attendees will participate in a discussion on what the submission process can contribute to the writing practice. Ashaki will guide attendees in shaping their submission goals then move through the steps, from preparation to tracking. Attendees will complete the workshop having sent one piece of work (or one short manuscript) to a literary publication. Attendees should bring a laptop with WiFi capacity and a short story or a set of five poems to submit. Ashaki M. Jackson is a Cave Canem alumna, VONA alumna and co-founder of Women Who Submit.
