I’m happy to announce today that I’ll be offering the inaugural Submission Sunday Summer Support Group. If you’re into alliteration, you’re already a fan. :-) If you’re already an annual paid subscriber to Submission Sunday, all you need to do is sign up. If you’re not a paid subscriber, this support group might be a good reason to join us: submissionsunday.substack.com.

A few years ago, I ran several iterations of a submission support group in person and online and it was great! Writers came together to catch up on their latest submission efforts and then spent an hour researching new opportunities and sending out work. Much success was had!

Starting Sunday, June 21, we’ll meet from 9:00 to 10:00 AM Pacific time online through August 30 (with no meeting on July 5). We’ll have a quick check-in, a sneak preview of that day’s new post of eight opportunities if there is one or a reminder of some submission tips, and then spend the rest of the hour off-camera sending out work before a final wrap-up. I’ll be available for one-on-one breakouts to discuss any issues you’re running into, and we’ll keep a group Google sheet of our submissions and results.

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have. Let’s do this!
