​ABOUT THE EVENT ✏︎

​Love ’em or hate ’em, cover letters are an opportunity to make a good (or very bad) impression on lit mag editors and readers.

​Join Janelle Drumwright for a discussion of what you should and shouldn’t include in your cover letter to give your work its best chance at publication (and avoid eye rolls and groans from lit mag staff).
