In 2024 the Scarlet Quill Society will be focusing on getting you through that next step: publication. Whether you’re aiming for a place in an anthology, a traditional publisher for your longform work, or self-publishing on your own or through a service, our posts and panels will be there to help you spot scams and fill in the missing pieces to get your work into the places you want it. Knowing when you’re done is one of the hardest parts of any creative endeavor, because you can always do more. If there’s a submission deadline, then you at least have a cutoff, right? But you’re still missing an important piece of information: how done is done? This month is all about knowing when you’re done and when you need to do more. This month's session will take place on Friday, April 19 at 2pm US Eastern time. Meanwhile, don't forget to read the April post.
