In this episode, Claire and Annar get into the nitty gritty of where, how and what to submit when sending your writing out for publication, whether it be to a literary magazine, a chapbook prize, or to a press for full-length manuscripts. 

Focusing on the practical details, we offer lists, tips and insights into the the daunting task of sending work out to be considered for publication, and dive into some philosophical questions like, "What, of your work, needs to be out in the world?" "What are you saying with this work?" "What is the dialogue that you want to have with this publication?" We talk about some of our personal submission strategies, how we cope with rejection and keep our spirits alive to send the next batch of poems out into the world, feeling supported and hopeful. 



If you're listening before March 17th, 2023 (St. Patty's Day!) Host Publications is open for submissions! If you've got a chapbook manuscript ready to go, please send it our way!
