Editor Kimberly McElhatten will present “Behind the Submission Button,” an inside look at the submission process through the lens of an editor with more than a decade of experience at Brevity, The Fourth River, and Autumn House Press. Learn what editors are (and aren’t) looking for in submissions and cover letters, how to tell whether a literary magazine or publisher is the right fit for your work, and how to better meet editorial standards and expectations.
