Yes, the Rumors are True
STORYGLOSSIAs reclusive editor will be making an appearance at the Ann Arbor Book Festival. I'll be on two panels at the Writer's Conference Friday, May 18, 2007. Here's the scoop on the sessions:
1:00 PM: - with Steven Gillis and Liesel Litzenburger - Writing and Marketing the Short Story For those who like to tell the whole story in 4000 words, three purveyors of the craft of short story writing will share their expertise. In this session, attendees will discuss the inherent differences in short vs. full-length fiction, including story arc, character development, plot pacing, and use of dialogue. In addition, the panel will provide tips on working with journals and other sources to get your short stories published.
2:30 - PM - with Keith Hood - Breaking Into Literary Magazines There are currently over 100 literary journals in publication. Each of those journals receives countless submissions from would-be and established writers. How do you submit writing that will get noticed? What are magazine editors looking for? And how do you find the right journal for your genre and style of writing? Attendees will learn to submit work with a new level of knowledge of the workings of literary journals.
Live within reasonable driving distance of Ann Arbor? I know a lot of you blog readers and journal contributors do, so get signed up for the writer's conference and I'll see you there.
