Join Campo de Cahuenga Museum with the talented Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo in a community writing workshop!

Using knowledge and experience acquired as cofounder and director of Women Who Submit, an organization empowering woman-identifying and non-binary writers to submit work for publication, Bermejo will walk participants through the submission process one step at a time. She will also elucidate strategies for success, including a reframing of rejection as the cornerstone of a writing career.

This seminar will include writing exercises and discussion. By the end of the seminar, each writer will walk away with a better understanding of how to personalize the submission process as well as resources for getting started.

Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo is the daughter of Mexican immigrants and author of Incantation: Love Poems for Battle Sites, and Posada: Offerings of Witness and Refuge. A former Steinbeck Fellow and Poets & Writers California Writers Exchange winner, Bermejo's poetry and essays can be found at Acentos Review, Huizache, LA Review of Books, The Offing, [Pank], Santa Fe Writers Project, and other journals. She teaches poetry and creative writing with Antioch University, MFA and UCLA Extension and is the director of Women Who Submit.

Free snacks and beverages will be available!

Bring a notebook and a writing instrument, and let the writing and submitting begin!
