These workshops will be available for the world (ha!) to read and comment on. Hey, don’t think I’m nuts… some people like that.
If you want to post a piece of writing on PunkPen for the world to read and review, do this:
If you post your work on the Showcase, it is considered published. Most magazines and publishers of short stories won’t care that you have posted your work on a blog, however… Just make sure you mention that you have it posted here in your query letters. The publisher may ask you to remove it before they decide to put it in print. The fact that you post it here should not hurt your chances of publication elsewhere! (At least, not until I make this site into a legitimate lit-mag!)
These workshops will be available through the PunkPen Forums. This is a private way to get your writing read by other writers, or critics on the forum. Forums are moderated daily, and there are guidelines to follow to make the best workshop experience for everyone. This is a great option for those that seek to get published and don’t want their writing posted in a public domain.
