About the event
From Submission to Selection: Poetry Editors on Contest Success
What makes a poem rise to the top of a contest stack? Three experienced poetry editors share real-world advice, submission strategies, and editor insights every contest-submitting poet should know. Join Kelli Lage, Assistant Poetry Editor for Bracken Magazine, Steve Rose, Assistant Poetry Editor for Lyrical Iowa, and Dawn Terpstra, Editor for River Heron Review for an engaging discussion. Would you like to submit questions in advance? You may send those to ipa@iowapoetry.com with Feb Questions in the subject line.
