Workshop hosted on Zoom through The Heart of It Writing Retreat. Register here.

Workshop description: From contests to literary agents, the Big 5 to indies, contract negotiations to publicity, the poetry publication landscape can feel like a minefield for an aspiring author to navigate. In this session, participants will gain insight into the process of publishing a poetry manuscript from submission to post-publication and will have the opportunity to ask any questions they might have around publication. All writers and levels of experience are welcome, although this session is specifically geared towards writers who are in the process of writing or submitting a poetry manuscript.

A National Endowment for the Arts fellow and MacDowell fellow, Ally’s work has appeared in The Rumpus, The Academy of American Poets' Poem-a-Day, The Seattle Met, and elsewhere. They co-host Other People’s Poems, a poetry open mic and reading series in Seattle. Find them at allysonang.com or @TheOceanIsGay.
