Booktoberfest is our annual showcase of our members’ books, held during our October 15 meeting. Authors read for around 5 to 7 minutes from something they have published in the last eighteen months. Attendees will also have the opportunity to purchase books afterwards.
You’ll never meet a kinder audience, and it encourages us all to hear what others are writing.
David Harris
Whether you're a new or established writer or poet, figuring out how to get your work published in literary journals can be confusing and, at times, overwhelming. There are thousands of journals publishing work in dozens of genres, ranging from literary to historical to horror. How do you evaluate which publications are more likely to publish your work and how do you keep track of your work while submitting to multiple publications? When does it make sense to enter a contest? Perhaps most important, how do you keep going after receiving multiple rejections?
Former Reuters journalist and short fiction writer David Harris will share what he's learned about the often bewildering landscape of literary journals. His stories have appeared in Litbreak Magazine, Idle Ink, Roi Faineant, Fault Zone: Detachment, Calliope, and the Concho River Review. He was also longlisted for The Dillydoun Review 2022 Short Story Prize. His most recent work has been accepted for publication in The Valparaiso Review and The Opiate. In addition to working as a journalist, David has also been a corporate communications consultant and a speechwriter. He is currently a board member of the SF Peninsula branch of the California Writers Club.
