Looking for insider tips about getting your work published? In this seminar, Daniel Simon—an award-winning editor with three decades of book and magazine publishing experience—will pull back the curtain hiding the mysteries of editorial decision-making. Participants should bring an actual pitch letter to share with the group for live feedback during the Q&A session, plus any questions they might have about demystifying the process. 

An award-winning essayist, poet, and translator, Daniel Simon is the editor in chief of World Literature Today magazine at the University of Oklahoma, where he also serves on the affiliate faculty in English, International Studies, and Judaic Studies. His third collection of poems, Under a Gathering Sky, is forthcoming from SFA Press in April 2024. Nebraska Poetry: A Sesquicentennial Anthology, 1867–2017, which he edited, won a 2018 Nebraska Book Award and was included on NPR’s “50 States” summer booklist (2022). The grandson of Czech and Irish immigrants, Daniel grew up in Nebraska along the banks of the Platte River. He is a member of the Academy of American Poets, PEN America, and Nebraska Center for the Book.
