For writers seriously interested in publishing short fiction and poetry. |
Let's Publish! Welcome to Let's Publish, a group for those seriously interested in publishing. To introduce myself: My name is emerin-liseli , and I am an aspiring writer (aren't we all?) interested in reaching out to other writers who want to familiarize themselves with the publishing world. I've worked in academic publishing, at several nationally circulated magazines, and as an editor for smaller venues. However, I am certainly no expert -- hopefully, this group will function as a stepping stone and a learning tool for everyone involved. About Let's Publish!: This group is a meeting ground for writers who are serious about the craft, serious about writing, and serious about revising. We give tough, thoughtful reviews (take a look at our Affiliated Reviews ,) and we aren't afraid to challenge each other and ourselves. Members of Let's Publish! are seeking to learn more about the craft, diversify their writing portfolios and venture out into the world of publishing. This isn't to say that we're a bunch of cranky birds -- there's always lively discussion in our forum, and room for members to get to know each other and develop friendships. How Does This Work?: At the beginning of every month, I will post links to a few publishing possibilities in our forum: "Let's Publish! Discuss and Talk" Members will choose which publishing possibilities they wish to pursue, and submit up to three pieces for polishing and review. Note that this is NOT the place for pieces that require extensive line-by-line grammatical edits or lack basic understanding of plot, character development and story arc. The group's intent is to fine-tune or tweak for a larger audience. During the reviewing and revising period, members will be required to review at least one other member a week. All reviews are required to be in-depth. Please take a look at our reviewing goals and guidelines: "Let's Publish! In-Depth Reviewing" Revisions are necessary! We thrive on growth and continual improvement. Submission. Of course, this is on your honor. Check our list of publishing opportunities: "Opportunities for Let's Publish!" . If you're having problems with formatting, take a look at this handy reference: "Invalid Item" . Celebration for those who get published! A Few Miscellanea: There is a cap of forty members for this group. If there are already forty members, you will be added to the waiting list. If you do not remain an active member of Let's Publish!, you will be removed from the group. I will provide periodic reminders and group updates before removing members from the group.
