Hit Submit! is a once-monthly solidarity event dedicated to supporting artists and writers through the submission process.

* Send out that short story you’ve been polishing up!
* Respond to the open call that sounds perfect for your work!
* Apply to that residency program!

Experienced facilitators will be available throughout the session to offer practical support (cover letters, artist statements, etc.) as well as personalized suggestions for where to submit your work.

Free snacks, coffee, tea, hot cocoa (and high fives!) will be available, too!

Getting your work out there is its own success, regardless of outcome. Let’s celebrate the submission process together!

Hit Submit! Will take place every first Sunday of the month from 11:30-1:30 at Rainbow Bridge Community Center 81 N. Main St. Barre, Vermont.
