AlbakiReads Editorial

A writer-led guide to literary submissions

Dennis James Sweeney’s guide focuses on publishing through literary magazines and small presses, covering both shorter work—stories, essays, and poems—and routes for full-length books. Its subject is not limited to preparing submissions: the book also frames publication as a writer-led, community-based process and encourages writers to take an active role in shaping their publishing lives. The description presents it as a resource for understanding the independent publishing landscape and for approaching the search for publication as part of a sustainable writing practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Writers preparing to submit stories, essays, or poems to literary magazines.
  • Writers exploring small presses as a route for a full-length book.
  • First-time submitters and writers with prior submission experience.

Book overview

A comprehensive guide to getting published and building a literary reputation through small presses and magazines -- and taking ownership of your own publishing life

This essential guide is the first of its kind to chart a path to publication that is writer led, community based, and accessible to all. How to Submit speaks to writers who want to publish short stories, essays, or poems in literary magazines, as well as to those looking for a fresh route to publishing a full-length book. Whether you're a first-time submitter or you have experience sending out your work, How to Submit provides you with the tools and knowledge to successfully share your writing. It's also a manifesto for finding joy in the process, arguing that seeking publication should give writers energy, not take it from them. Perfect for writers of any genre, How to Submit demystifies the independent publishing landscape for those seeking a place for their work that really feels like home.
