Submit It Now!
I lead a monthly co-working session, called Submit It Now! for writers to gather and work on submitting their writing. I’ll also go over resources and questions related to the submission and writing process.
FREE on Zoom
Hosted by the fine folks at Chill Subs
Advance registration required
Submit-It-Now!
Time and Support to Get Published
The first Wednesday of the month
4:30 pm – 6:00 pm PST
Gather with other writers and dedicate an hour to submitting your writing to lit mags. After a brief check-in, I spend about 20-30 minutes sharing a new resource or addressing a key question to help make the submission process easier. From there you get to work, and I’ll be available for questions. (The Q&A is super active.) At the close we circle back to see how the hour went and celebrate hitting SUBMIT.
These sessions are hosted on the Chill Subs platform. Registration each month is required in order to get the link—but it’s FREE!
You can always find the event in the Chill Subs Events.
Next session: Wednesday, October 7, 2026.

The submission topic that I’ll review in October is Themed Submissions.
As always, you will have time to work on submissions and ask questions.
Upcoming Topics:
September—No session, on vacation!
October 7: Themed Submission
November 4: The companion piece (also called writing adjacent content), what this means and how it can support your book and platform.
December Topic: AI and submitting to lit mags
I’ve written articles on many of the submitting topics that I’ve reviewed in past Submit It Now sessions. Linked here.
