Workshop Title: Polish and Publish
UA Library, Ohio
Workshop Description:

“Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.” ― Paulo Coelho


This class is about the nuts and bolts of publishing. We'll begin by better understanding when a piece is ready for prime time. We'll discuss key questions to ask yourself before sending it out into the world. Participants will learn to understand the ins and outs of submitting, how to tell if a journal is a good fit, and how to set goals for publication that encourage rather than discourage. To conclude, we'll create simple cover letters and discuss strategies for acceptance and rejection alike.  The process of polishing and publication can be fun! Let's do this!
