In my program, it's talked about in nearly every workshop and definitely every casual conversation I have with professors. As a matter of fact, in my very first workshop, we were given a packet of sample cover letters, sample rejection letters, and guidelines for submissions. In another, the prof gave each of us copies of journals that he thought our work would fit well with. They don't push it down our throats--there are students more concerned with teaching, or more concerned with craft and want a complete manuscript before they worry about publishing--but for those of us trying to get our work out there, there's plenty of help. It seems counter-productive to tell students not to worry about it.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357902086583000382noreply@blogger.com
