Women Who Submit-ATX Symposium
The Austin Chapter of Women Who Submit hosts its first symposium! Join us for a half day of writing workshops and panel discussions in a cozy backyard garden in South Austin! Write, mingle with local authors, and buy books!
Women Who Submit seeks to empower women and nonbinary writers by creating physical and virtual spaces for sharing information, supporting and encouraging submissions to literary journals, and clarifying the submission and publication process.
The Austin chapter meets upstairs at the Central Market Café on second Saturdays. Become a WWS-ATX member to attend for free! Message for more information. We are open to women-identified and nonbinary writers!
