Submissions

 I decided to start somewhat small. First, I submitted one poem to Winged Nation (http://wingednation.blogs.wm.edu/), the Literary Magazine where I attend school at William and Mary.  They only put out one magazine a year, in the spring, but their reading period ends October 7th. They also do not offer money, but they were very kind in their response letting me know they had received the poem and would get back to me as soon as possible.

I also submitted three poems to The Barnwood International Poetry Magazine (http://www.barnwoodpress.org/). It currently features works from such poets as Barbara Ellen Baldwin, Jack D. Harvey, Al Ortolani, Lauren Suchenski, and Jennifer Tappenden. I particularly like the poem by Al Ortolani entitled "Blue Bandana Email". The site is a little difficult to navigate, but you can find the poems under the "2012" link on the side. The pay is $25 per poem, but I don't know when or if I can expect to hear back. 

Hopefully this is interesting and helpful to someone. I'm planning to spotlight a certain poet in my next entry and discuss how s/he went about becoming published. However, I have not yet decided which poet to spotlight first. Keep checking back :)
