where are the poets of Mastodon? Are you here to publish only on Mastodon? Are you submitting to journals/reviews/websites? Have something to "boast" about? #Poetry #Poetslift #MastoPoets #PoetryCommunity @poetry

Got an acceptance from a journal I've been sending work to for like a decade. Sharing this to encourage you to keep trying. #writinglife #mastopoets @writingcommunity #poetry #nationalpoetrymonth

A pleasure to have my spring poem "Iridology" featured on the Best American Poetry blog:

Good morning / day / evening @writingcommunity #mastopoets , here's a friendly nudge to send out your work. For instance, Petrichor is open for submissions: https://petrichormag.com/submit/ If you know of other places currently open, do share / add in comments / whatever works for you :) #submissions #litmag

Dear @writingcommunity I have to say I'm a bit giddy. I just sent out a new manuscript for the first time - and it's not my usual kind of work, it's collage poems. Fingers crossed.

First #rejection email of the year, for me, since Threepenny Review doesn't seem to send rejections anymore, is from Canadian journal Grain. #submissions #writinglife #mastopoets #keeponkeepingon @writingcommunity

Friendly new year's reminder that Threepenny Review has opened for submissions - it's the quickest way to get that first rejection of the year out of the way. It's become my own little new year's tradition to send to them on Jan 1st. @writingcommunity #mastopoets #mastowriters #OpenForSubmissions

Happy everything, @writingcommunity ! Let's make a thread of journals currently open for submissions, so we can end the year on a hopeful note! #submissions #mastopoets #mastowriters #mastolit

That little moment of joy when you look over the TOC proof a journal sent you and see you'll be in the same issue as someone whose work you love :) #writinglife #mastopoets #mademyday @writingcommunity
