Five Ways of Looking at Short Fiction: Session Four

March 25, 7:00 p.m. 

Dos and Don’ts of Submitting to Literary Journals / Kevin Morgan Watson

Press 53 publisher and editor in chief Kevin Morgan Watson will discuss—and answer your questions about—the ins and outs of submitting your short stories to literary journals. Knowing what not to do is often more important than know what to do regarding formatting, simple punctuation and grammar, and also etiquette.

Located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Press 53 has published authors from thirty-five states, producing 250 titles that have earned more than ninety awards.
