We are finally back at the Jefferson Market Library! Derringer Finalist (and chapter co-president) Nina Mansfield will moderate a panel that includes award winning authors Kathleen Marple Kalb, Richie Narvaez and Lori Robbins to discuss how to put your best foot forward when composing a short story submission. We’ll delve into the craft of writing short stories, and cover submission do’s and don’ts so that your anthology submission will have the best chance of being accepted.
