EVENT

Publishing in Literary Magazines

September 14th, 2025

📚 Overview

Publishing in a literary magazine is a great way to build your online portfolio and grow as a writer. To get your work accepted, you need not only a compelling piece but also a strategic submission process and the ability to make a strong first impression.

In this one-day session, you’ll hear directly from magazine editors and learn what it takes to avoid the slush pile. Authors who have successfully published stories will also share their insights and submission tactics during panel discussions and Q&As.

If you want to break into publishing through literary magazines, sign up today for a comprehensive breakdown of how to hone your work, get it published, and start building an audience.


🎓 What You’ll Learn


✅ Exclusive Access

Managing editors at literary magazines as well as published authors will share their knowledge during presentations and panel discussions.

Each presentation will be followed by a live Q&A, giving you the chance to ask your questions. You’ll also receive a free entry to our short story contest, and a free copy of the latest issue of Prompted, our short story magazine.

Finally, if you’d like to work with a professional editor to polish your writing before submitting, you'll get post-event guidance on hiring an editor through Reedsy, plus $25 credit towards a collaboration.
