The Business of Publishing, Part One: Submitting Stories
Ursa Members, thank you for supporting our show!
On this special Member Exclusive episode of Ursa Short Fiction, Deesha Philyaw and Dawnie Walton offer a comprehensive guide to the business of publishing – from submitting short stories to literary magazines, to navigating rejection, and finding an agent.
Deesha and Dawnie also share their own personal stories about the process, including working with editors and ultimately getting their books published. But before any of that, there’s the question of how a writer should think about the creative process vs. the business side of selling your work.
