I can help you submit! Submit!

You know that story you’ve been meaning to write? The poem sitting in your notebook? The idea you’ve been carrying around for three weeks while telling yourself you’ll get to it “soon”?

Well, this is your official notice. “Soon” is today.

The Instant Noodles Lit Mag Al Dente Writing Workshop with Robert Fleming takes place today at 5 PM Eastern (2 PM Pacific), and we’d love to see you there.

Whether you’re a writer, poet, artist, or creative dabbler who occasionally stares out a window pretending to work, this free online workshop is designed to help spark ideas, answer questions about submissions, and get you thinking about our upcoming Al Dente issue.

No fancy credentials required. No publication history required. No secret literary handshake required.

Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and whatever creative project has been lurking in the back of your mind.

Seats are limited, and once the workshop starts, you’ll have to live with the knowledge that everyone else is talking about writing while you’re reorganizing a drawer or scrolling social media.

Register now.

We’ll save you a seat:

Thinking about submitting to the upcoming Instant Noodles Lit Mag issue, Al Dente?

Before you hit “send,” join Editor Robert Fleming for a free online workshop on Saturday, June 13, at 5 PM Eastern (2 PM Pacific).

This informal session is designed for writers, poets, and artists who want to learn more about the theme, explore ideas, and discover what kinds of work might be a good fit for the issue.

Literary magazines can sometimes feel intimidating from the outside. This workshop is an opportunity to ask questions, generate new material, and connect with fellow creatives in a welcoming environment.

Whether you already have a submission in progress or are still waiting for inspiration to strike, you’ll leave with fresh ideas and a better understanding of where your work might fit.

Attendance is free, but seating is limited.

Reserve your spot today and help us make the next issue of Instant Noodles Lit Mag something special.

Got Writer’s Block? Bring It to Robert.

Every issue of Instant Noodles Lit Mag starts somewhere.

A line scribbled in a notebook. A strange image that won’t leave you alone. A poem that refuses to behave. A story that exists everywhere except on the page.

If you’ve been looking for a reason to finally sit down and create something, consider this your invitation.

On Saturday, June 13, at 5 PM Eastern (2 PM Pacific), Instant Noodles Lit Mag Editor Robert Fleming will host a free online Al Dente Writing Workshop designed to help writers, poets, and artists generate ideas, get inspired, and learn more about submitting to our upcoming issue, Al Dente.

Whether you’re a seasoned contributor or someone who’s never submitted a piece before, you’re welcome to join us.

The workshop is free, but space is limited.

Bring your imagination. We’ll provide the noodles.

Register today and join us for an evening of creativity and community.
