Publishing! It’s not that scary! Getting your short stories out into the big wide world is not the big white whale you might think it is – in fact it can be both fun and extremely rewarding. Join us for this hour-long interactive workshop where we’ll take you step-by-step through everything you need to know about sending your lovely storybabies into the big wide world, and how to give them every possible chance of being published.

What we’ll explore:

  • Where to find places to send your stories
  • Improving your chances of your work getting accepted
  • Keeping track of all your submissions
  • Dealing with rejection

This event is hosted by ✨Alice Slater✨

Read this before going to the forum!

The widget that lets you sign into the forum with your WHQ login has given up. 

We are trying to coax it back into existence. So far neither bribery, begging or crying has worked. We are currently trying shaking our fists at the sky and going ‘grrrr’.

You can still get to the forum though! Do this:

  1. Click the button below
  2. On the forum login page, click reset password USING THE SAME EMAIL YOU USE FOR WHQ
  3. Click the link in the email and reset your password

IMPORTANT: This means you will have TWO (2) passwords/logins. One for the WHQ main site and one for the forum. It’s a pain in the arse. We’re sorry. It is temporary, but at least you can dick about on the forum again. OKAY BYE. 

Confirm your place at Getting Short Stories Published with Alice Slater.
