LAST CALL: Calling young Pinays for Speed Femtoring with the 100 Most Influential Filipina American Women in the U.S. – SF, 10/14/11

Posted on October 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“Speed Femtoring: A historic event in the the Filipino American Community.  A gathering of 200 women – Femtors and Femtees – getting together to lay the groundwork for the next generation of Filipino American leaders.

Do you know a young Pinay who might appreciate an opportunity for career femtoring by accomplished Filipina women?  We are looking for high school seniors, college and grad students and young professionals trying to navigate their careers.  This is a FREE event for young Pinays.

FWN is also calling accomplished FWN Members and FWN100 awardees from the ’07 and ’09 Groups.  Sign up as a FEMTOR and partner with a young FEMTEE and influence her life.

Speed Femtoring is a networking event at which femtees / protégés can ask experienced professionals those “everything-you’ve-always-wanted-to-know-but-didn’t-know-whom-to-ask” questions. Femtees / protégées will have the opportunity to interact with up to 12 Femtors during the course of the event. “

PAWA Workshop: How to Submit Your Work for Publication – SF, 7/30/11

Posted on July 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

PAWA Workshop: How to Submit Your Work for Publication

“What to Bring: yourselves, your questions, your current submissions packets, your current submissions calls resources.

Who Should Attend: Aspiring and emerging writers with limited or no experience with the submissions process, or writers with some submissions experience, who would like to refine or clarify their own current processes.

For more information, please email: pawa@pawainc.com.

I have the space reserved from 10 am until 2 pm, and will use that entire time if necessary, to present, to discuss, to answer questions.

The rationale for this workshop: For some time now, I have been receiving a volume of email questions, many people asking me how to submit work, how to make a submission, how to determine where to submit. There is no single or quick way to answer these questions adequately, especially via email, especially when I do not know the writer and/or his/her publication experience/history.

I am therefore conducting a workshop via PAWA, so that I can have the space to answer these questions in a non-virtual forum, but first, break it down: What are the do’s and don’t’s. In other words, what are our commandments, and what are our cardinal sins.

* I will compile and present resources, places where I find submissions calls.
* We will discuss how and where we decide to submit our work.
* We will discuss literary journals, magazines, anthologies. We will discuss print and online publication.
* We will talk about cover letters and bio statements.
* We will read a number of sample submissions calls carefully for the directions that we must follow. What does each publication require? For example: What are their page limits and formatting specifics, what are their policies on snail mail versus online submissions, on unpublished or previously published work?
* We will discuss ways of recording/tracking our submissions.
Finally, we will Q&A until we’re good and done.” -Barbara Jane Reyes
