Publication
Sharing finished writing with authentic audiences.
Overview
Publication might be the end of a single cycle, or a trigger to go back to purpose and review. Students may decide to explore further texts at this point or refine their ideas and skills. When the text is ready for submission, it will be published in the appropriate form. The activities in this chapter explore class anthologies, digital publishing, writing competitions, and literary journals.
