Taught by Meg Eden, a 2020 Pitch Wars mente and the author of five poetry chapbooks, the novel Post-High School Reality Quest (2017), the poetry collection Drowning in the Floating World (2020), and the forthcoming novel-in-verse Good Different, a JLG Gold Standard Selection (Scholastic, 2023). She is also a participating author with the PEN/Faulkner Writers in Schools program.

The chapbook is becoming a popular form with both poets and publishers, and is a great way for poets to get their work out before a first book. In this asynchronous online workshop, we’ll discuss what a chapbook is, look at several examples, and explore how to choose and order poems to create a strong body of work, as well as how to select the right chapbook publisher for your work.

TAKE THIS CLASS IF:
  • You are interested in putting together a chapbook or full-length poetry manuscript but don’t know where to start.
  • You have a chapbook manuscript that you’d like to finish, revise, or re-evaluate after submission rounds.
  • You would like to submit your chapbook but don’t know where to start.
  • You have received encouraging feedback on your manuscript when submitting but are wondering how to increase your chances of an acceptance letter

ONLINE COURSE STRUCTURE:

This class is entirely asynchronous which means you complete the weekly assignments on your own schedule. There are no set meeting times in order to allow for greater participation; your cohort will consist of writers from across different time zones, which allows for a wonderful diversity of voices.

Along with your weekly deadlines there is plenty of interaction with Meg and your peers within Wet Ink, our dedicated online classroom. Craft materials, lectures, reading assignments, and writing prompts are all available through the online classroom. Students also post work and provide and receive feedback within the online classroom environment.

You can get the work done as you see fit week-to-week, so it is perfect for any schedule. There are discussion questions each week inspired by the assigned readings and topics in the lecture notes. Students are encouraged to take these wherever is most compelling and/or useful for them. Meg engages with these discussions throughout the week and you will receive feedback from all assigned writing activities.

HOW DOES WET INK WORK?

Wet Ink was built and designed specifically for online writing classes. Wet Ink is private, easy to use, and very interactive. You can learn more about the Wet Ink platform by Watching a Class Demo.
