Send It!Where: East Liberty Library (130 S. Whitfield Street) - Meeting Room 1 With the March meeting, we'll be trying out a new hybrid format. Folks who can't make the in-person meeting have the option to Zoom in and join the group in submitting work, or get guidance or advice on where to send their work. You can find the Zoom link:
Send It! is a new kind of group for Pittsburgh-area writers and artists that's focused on the publication side of the craft. Once a month, we'll meet up to learn about and submit work to literary journals, presses, agents, grants, and other opportunities to build an audience or creative career. We'll also have resources available, like:
This isn't a critique group--the idea is to show up with work that's finished, polished, and ready to publish. It is absolutely open to people of all experience levels, though! Submitting work can be anxiety-inducing whether you're sending your first submission or seeking a publisher for your 5th novel, but support and encouragement from people who have been there, too, can be a big help. Send It! is free and there's no registration required--just show up with your laptop and creative works that need a home, and spend some time with other writers and artists looking for the same thing! If you want to get a reminder of upcoming meetings, you can join the Send It Meetup group. |
