You meet many authors in publishing, but few like Dennis James Sweeney—talented, kind, and deeply engaged. His new book, How to Submit: Getting Your Writing Published with Literary Magazines and Small Presses (New World Library), is exactly what writers need: a guide that makes the submission process empowering and joyful.

From day one, Dennis has been a pleasure to collaborate with. He balances expertise with approachability, helping writers submit work and build community. His experience as an editor and educator shines through, offering clear, actionable advice that transforms anxiety into confidence.

Dennis’s dedication to other writers is genuinely inspiring. He’s invested in their success, not just through advice but through genuine encouragement. Our work on this book’s launch has been seamless, filled with creative, strategic discussions that make the process enjoyable.

As How to Submit reaches readers, I know it will guide countless writers in finding the right homes for their work. If you’re navigating the submission process, pick up this book. And if you can work with Dennis, consider yourself lucky—I know I do.
