In this chapbook workshop we'll talk about the different ways to organize chapbooks (should there be a thematic link? how to build? ordering poems?), how chapbook readers *might be* different than other kinds of readers, a brief history of the chapbook, and the nitty gritty of submitting your work. Wherever you are in your writing journey, join us to think about whether the chapbook (poetry, prose, or hybrid) might be a project for you. If you have a group of work that you're already thinking of as a collection, please bring it—we can shuffle pages and consider options. Bring your questions!
