This has been a year of staying home, and like a lot of writers, I have done more poetry submissions than ever. The down side of this is the increase in competition. But the upside is that every so often my work is accepted!

This past spring and summer I have had a cluster of yeses: Vallum Magazine, The Miramichi Reader, NōD Magazine, The Quarantine Review, Sledgehammer Literary Magazine, Unfortunately, Literary Magazine, and SHIFT: A Publication of MTSU Write.

Some of these Magazines paid, some had launches, others requested a video of the poem, or audio of the poem. And others took more than one poem.

Seems pretty obvious to say, but the more you submit, the more acceptances that come your way!
