It’s Not Who You Know: Tips for Publishing & Winning Prizes
As an unknown writer with no academic affiliation, many miles from New York City or L.A., Kelly Madigan struggled to get her work out into the world.

Kelly will share her knowledge of contests, agents, fellowships, publishing, platforms, and the amazing world of writing residencies.
