In this short, focused workshop, you’ll get:

The 6-Point Submission Checklist
A clear, repeatable process you can use every time you submit

Submission Planner Sheet
A one-page “job jacket” for each story so you only gather details (word count, genre, fun facts, potential markets, bio angle) once, then reuse them every time that story goes out.

Easy Cover Letter Templates
Fill-in-the-blank examples you can copy, tweak, and reuse, so “I don’t know what to say in a cover letter” is never again a reason not to submit.

Standard Manuscript Format Template (Word)
A clean, editor-friendly document with styles already built in. Paste in your story, apply the styles, and you’re manuscript-ready without wrestling with margins, fonts, or headers.

Submission Tracker Spreadsheet
A simple system for logging where you’ve sent what, so you’re not guessing about deadlines, response times, or “wait, did I already submit this there?”

Workspace & System Setup Walkthrough
A quick guide to setting up folders and reusable documents so you can always find your polished stories, bios, and templates when you need them.

Bonus: How to Start Researching Markets
A gentle, beginner-friendly lesson on how to find potential homes for your stories without disappearing into a rabbit hole of overwhelm.

Who is This For?

This workshop is perfect for you if:

• You have stories you’re proud of (or nearly there)…
• You want readers beyond your hard drive…
• And you keep thinking, “I’ll submit… someday,” but never quite do.

You do not need:

• A giant spreadsheet of all the possible markets, ever
• Years of publishing experience
• A thick skin made of stone

You just need a small, solid system you can lean on when your brain wants to panic.

The Result

By the end, you’ll have:

• Materials for one story,  prepped to submit
• A repeatable process you can use for every story from now on
• Templates and tools that save your energy for the part that matters most: writing and sharing your work

If you’re ready to stop just writing stories and start actually sending them out, this is your next right step.
