Learn exactly what editors look for, and how to publish your essay.
For years, I've watched writers struggle with writing AND with getting published. This is your chance to talk directly with an editor to see what she looks for.
Join me live as I sit down with Rachel Kramer Bussel, editor of Open Secrets Magazine — someone who has seen thousands of essays cross her desk and knows exactly what makes a story rise out of the slush pile.
We'll cover:
What makes an essay stand out from the first paragraph
What earns an instant yes — and what gets a rejection
Why strong stories still get passed over and how to fix it
