You’ve been writing poetry for a while, and now you’re ready to publish, but it can be difficult to figure out where to start. Writers interested in publishing their work are first met with the task of learning to navigate the publishing system. How do I know where to submit my poetry? When should I spend money on a submission? How do I center my goals and values in the publishing process? In this class, students will develop a systematic approach to building their publication history, starting from their individual goals and values around poetry. This class is designed to support students in learning how to approach the publication process through transferable, replicable practices and frameworks. A portion of each class will be dedicated to workshopping poems in preparation for submitting to literary magazines and awards. We will research, read, and discuss work by contemporary poets, including Leila Chatti, Diane Seuss, Aracelis Girmay, and Airea D. Matthews.
This course will include the option to write poems for workshop throughout the course. However, students are also welcome to bring existing poems that would benefit from workshop rather than writing a new poem each week. Students can expect to bring or write 5 poems for this course.

Sliding Scale: Night School Bar pays instructors and staff a living wage, and your tuition goes toward supporting this practice. Please pick the payment tier that corresponds to your needs, and consider our commitment to fair labor practices when doing so. We will never request or require proof of need, and do not use an income-based sliding scale; we trust you to decide what payment tier is right for you. If you would like additional support deciding or would like to learn more about the practice of using a sliding scale, we recommend this resource from Embracing Equity.
Scholarships: We are currently able to offer three full scholarships per class. Our full scholarship tier is a nonrefundable offering, limited to one per student per month. Because our scholarship funding is limited, selecting multiple full scholarships in a single month will result in disenrollment from all classes. If the scholarship tier you need is sold out please email us directly, and we will add you to a waitlist and notify you if additional scholarships become available. Please see our FAQ for more information, including installment plans and refund policy.
Asynchronous Auditing: Classes are discussion-based and designed to be taken synchronously. However, we do offer an asynchronous audit option for most online classes if you need to follow along at your own pace. You must choose the audit option to receive all course recordings; please do not register using a scholarship if you do not plan to attend the majority of class sessions as you will not receive the recording materials to follow along. We do not automatically offer scholarships for auditors, but if you need one, you may request one by filling out this form.
