Join the Club!

Ready to join us on the path to publication? We’ll hold your hand if you want us to. Let’s motivate and challenge each other to make something amazing happen!

First, read The 7 Rules of Sub It Club:

1. You will not submit or query until your work has been critiqued, revised, spell checked and edited as many times as necessary to make it your very best work.
2. You will get your work out there! Nothing great can happen if your work sits on your computer unread.
3. You will realize that rejection is a part of the process. A form rejection is just that. A form. Agents, editors, and art directors are very busy. If they didn’t use forms they would never get any other work done and would have to close to unsolicited submissions altogether.
4. You will research each and every publisher and agent before you query. Blind submissions are unprofessional.
5. You will personalize each submission. This means addressing the query to a specific agent or editor and tailoring the letter to their preferences if you at all can. Yes, this can be hard and it takes time, but can make a huge difference in how well your query is received.
6. You will remember that a rejection in no way reflects upon you as a person.
7. You will have fun and celebrate your accomplishments! After all, we write because we love it.
