Attend this session and learn how to publish your work, discover journal and book contests, and get tips for editing/submitting your poetry. Thayer will be offering advice on how to avoid publishing pitfalls; how to narrow the field when submitting your work; and how to prevent your submissions from landing on the slush pile.
