"Interesting bit of advice from a literary agent in @poetswritersinc interview: When submitting story collections, "You’ll want to be sure that at least half of the material you’re submitting hasn’t yet been published."
Wow. News to me. Thoughts?"
News to me, too. Just signed with a publisher on a book of essays, the majority of which have been in lit mags. GW
Guinotte, that was always my impression too, that maybe one or two ought not to be published but not necessarily half, which seems large to me. I suppose it varies. Anyway, congrats on your book!
Happy Monday! Yay to all of this especially your closing! I am one of the very fortunate PERIPLUS mentees this inaugural year, and I will testify that working with Layli Long Soldier, and being a part of such a powerful and determined cohort, has been life changing so far. Thank you for highlighting the recent press.
Oh that's so cool! I just learned of PERIPLUS this morning. It sounds like a really fantastic program! (And ha I'm so glad you liked this closing. I am now going to have Janis Joplin in my head all day. :) )
"Jabs my mind awake." I love that. And thank you for asking about my writing. So nice of you! You can find my fiction here: https://www.beckytuch.com/fiction
