Getting published isn't a lottery or a slim chance—it’s the result of a thoughtful, deliberate submissions process. Learn how to identify your publication goals, judge your own level and find journals that are the right fit for your work.

For beginners sending out your first finished pieces and experienced writers breaking into your dream markets, this book will help you develop a submissions process that supports your goals, advances your literary citizenship, and helps you write better.

A really practical list of approaches instead of the more common platitudes people hand out (keep trying, etc.).
~ Jocelyn Bartkevicius, former editor of The Florida Review

Allison Williams separates myth from fact to provide crucial, no-nonsense advice on the practical side of being a writer, and she does it with deft humor. You couldn’t ask for a better coach.
~ Dinty W. Moore, author of The Mindful Writer

Engaging and straightforward—useful, concrete advice.
