Where to Submit Your Writing
$75
6:30-8 PM
All Saints Episcopal Church
3026 South Staples St.
Corpus Christi, TX
If you have written that beautiful card, the thank you letter, or the memoir about your mom or a novel where she is the heroine, the question comes, how do I get this published. Let's gather for three Tuesdays to get you started on the submission process. If you have somewhere to help advertise, or if you heard one of your friends talk about their collection of poetry that's ready to publish please print, post, or share to enhance the class experience, the more the merrier.
Looking forward to getting your call to register so I can hear about your project.
This event consists of three Tuesday evenings May 20, May 27, and June 3
