For poets who have been curious about publishing work, but unsure of where to start. This workshop attempts to demystify submission.

PRESENTED BY THE AMERICAN POETRY MUSEUM

Hello!

Are you a poet who’s been interested in publishing, but unsure of where to start. Or perhaps a writer who’s just curious about what the process entails. Even a poet who has published before and is looking for new tips. This short interactive talk and workshop will attempt to demystify the submission process.

Participants will receive a guided walk-through of what it takes to submit a poem to a journal or magazine. From conception of the work, to finding the best places to submit , to writing an artist statment, all the way to sending it in. Participants will also have a chance to ask questions and discuss their work in a group setting.

Presented by the American Poetry Museum, this workshop will be hosted July 14th at Creative Grounds DC from 6-8pm.

The class will be taught by writer and teacher Kenny Carroll III. Carroll is a writer from DC. He was the 2017 DC Youth Poet Laureate, and in 2019 received the Thomas Lux Scholarship from Sarah Lawrence. His work has been featured in The Georgia Review, Poetry.Onl, No Tokens, Lamplack, Poetry Walkes and Poetry London among others. He is a Breadloaf, Watering Hole, Brooklyn Poets, Obsidian, and Rosemarys House fellow. And was selected by Roger Reeves as a 2023 Cave Canem Starshine and Clay fellow. You can find him online @Kennyc113.
