Upcoming Events in Philadelphia

Are you a writer looking for tips on getting work published in a literary magazine? Do you want to get your work out there but don’t know how to do it? On Saturday, June 8th from 11:30am-1:30pm, the editorial staff of Glassworks will be holding a panel discussion at A Novel Idea in Philadelphia shedding light on getting your work published. Led by Editor in Chief Katie Budris, the panel will address strategies for choosing what publications to submit to, appealing to editors, effective cover letters, and dealing with rejection. The panel will be followed by a Q&A session, so bring all those questions you’ve been burning to ask - and bring your cover letter and/or bio for feedback!

Then the following day, Sunday, June 9th from 1:00-3:00pm, our staff will be back at A Novel Idea running a Flash Fiction Workshop you won't want to miss! Led by Managing Editor Anthony Palma, this workshop will include discussion of sample works, writing exercises, and a chance to look more closely at your own work. Bring short pieces to work on, or come with a laptop or notebook to generate new stories!
