Getting Your Work Published

Getting Your Work Published: Navigating the world of publishing can be a tricky business. Perhaps you've finished your latest poem or short story and don't know what to do with it. Or maybe you're thinking about writing a novel but can't imagine how to get it published. In this workshop, we'll take a broad view of publishing and look at each step of the process, from getting your work ready for submission to finding markets to dealing with rejection. Join Naugatuck-based author Patrick Scalisi on Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. as we look at the current state of publishing and how to find a home for your work.
