Public Writing Project: Repost!

Public Writing Project

To meet this requirement, you can go to a reading. Here are some listings:

And check out the Center for Fiction in Midtown:

http://www.centerforfiction.org/

They have frequent readings and even a literary magazine that you can submit to.

There's also the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in the East Village:

Bowery Poetry:

My former student (and a current QCC Writing Center tutor) Julius Baltonado hosts a semi-regular open mic:

He said that he'd give discounts for any of my students who attend. Just tell him at the door!

And there's the Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church:

 If you'd rather submit your writing to a publication, I'd suggest Newpages.com:

http://www.newpages.com/magazines/literary-magazines

or Poets &Writers:

http://www.pw.org/literary_magazines

Nowadays, many mags will allow you to submit your writing via the internet. We'll talk more about submitting your work, and I'd be happy to speak one-on-one w/ you about this too.

If you'd like to start a lit journal and publish yourself and your friends (inside or outside the class), I can show you how to set up your own blog on blogger (though there's a lot of free platforms like Weebly and Wordpress).

If you know of any other resources that aren't listed here, then please recommend them on the blog.
