Something New in 2025: A Monthly Submission Support Group for Writers

It's "Submit or Quit" time!

Dear Friends,

I’m excited to offer something completely new in 2025: a fun and energetic group for folks who would like to submit their work to publications, and could use a deadline, encouragement, and ideas for where to send stuff!

I’m going to begin a monthly Facebook-based weekend-long private event for paid subscribers to Prompts of Resilience and/or Microfiction Workshops with Meg Pokrass. If you’re already a paid subscriber to either publication, you’re in! If not, I hope you will consider becoming one in 2025.

The link will be sent out once per month. Dates will be based around my availability, and if you miss one or two, no worries. There will always be more!

Caveat: You will need a Facebook account to participate.

Participating writers will be encouraged to drop in any time of the day or night and check in to say “hi” and share their experience, and/or a few quirky new ideas when possible.. Anything goes, the idea is to MAKE IT FUN. Submitting is hard, and can be quite discouraging—my plan is to turn that around.

Additionally, I’ll be posting ideas for both old and new (open call) magazines to submit to, and will ask you to do the same if you can. There will be a minimum participant requirement (and promise) of aiming toward 3 submissions or more per weekend event.

I could use it as well, and I look so forward to it!
