CAA Fiction Foundry | How To Get Out of the Slush Pile

December 2, 2025
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
America/New_York
Off-campus

You've worked for years on a novel and finally have the manuscript ready for submission. You wait to hear back from agents or editors. But they're busy eliminating manuscripts to get through the overwhelming slush pile. Sound familiar? Dawn Raffel, a writer, editor, and creative writing teacher has been on both sides of this dynamic. In an enlightening hour-long conversation she'll share her experience with what the gatekeepers are looking for and how to grab their attention.
