Podcast: Submission Dos + Don'ts

May 31

Jenn Batchelor, Coffee + Crumbs’s Content Director, joined us for this episode to discuss submission dos and don'ts. She and Sonya walk us through what makes a standout essay, what they love to say “yes” to, and what some of the most common reasons are for having to pass. You can read Jenn’s C+C essays here, and go say “hi” on her blog or Instagram.
