Lit Mag Submission Club 2027

Find the resources, support, and community you need to publish your work.

Feeling overwhelmed by the submission process? Unsure which literary magazines are the best fit for your work?

Whether you write poems, personal essays, or short stories, join us each month for resources, inspiration, and support as you send your work out into the world.

Our monthly meetings cover where to find submission calls and contests and how to target the best outlets for your work. We write and polish cover letters and bios and learn to tailor them to specific magazines. Each month, we set submission goals and check in to hold each other accountable.

Between meetings, the conversation continues in the club’s Slack channel, where members share the magazines, contests, and calls they’re submitting to, and often discover new opportunities through each other. Our lit mag submission coach, Eileen Toomey, also posts a roundup of calls for submission.

Please note: At the start of the club, you should have at least two polished pieces ready to submit.

The Lit Mag Submission Club meets for six months at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on the third Tuesday of each month.

Thanks to the support of this group, I have been consistently submitting to literary magazines. Also, I've learned several new places to submit!

Our organization was founded to help amplify the voices of those who are often not heard—including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA+ individuals, and other historically marginalized groups. We have witnessed how writing and sharing stories has the power to effect change by generating greater love, compassion, and empathy in the listener. In all of our programs, we provide an inclusive, supportive, and welcoming environment. We do not tolerate writing and/or behavior that perpetuates harmful stereotypes or fuels hate. Failure to align with our philosophy can result in your removal from class.
