My heartfelt and slightly jealous congratulations ;-)

Feels great, doesn't it. I had a haiku in a corporate brochure for the last company I worked for, as my first poetic 'publication' of sorts, but no matter what the topic, genre or publication -- there's something kinda nice about seeing your words in print.

I'd love to read it -- how about posting the poem to the thread?

Congrats,

Drake

Print v. Internet

Congratulations, daughter, but I would say you've already published a number of poems here, and (from some comments you've made) I gather other sites on the net. I've noted quite a few people have the attitude that print publication is somehow better than being published on the internet. I'm not sure I agree with that: to me it reflects an elitist attitude, and possibly an archaic one.

 

[Whispersecret]

Call me an elitist if you must, but I don't hold e-publishing to be on the same level as print publishing.

 

[Miltone]

Belated congrats ...

That's great news D! I knew you had it in you and that it's only the start. Now if we can just finish getting a decent book deal together ...

Print vs Electronic

RED--

I do not think one is better than the other. What is a rush is to submit work to a publication where they are selective about what they print. Getting acceptance from a submission call is a big deal. Even better when they pay. I've been paid for my freelance work. It's a big deal for someone to say I will pay you to write an article.

For the record, this isn't my first in either medium, but every clip feels good. I am published at thundersandwich e-zine, Mipoeias e-zine, erotica readers association(website), PYO website and Rolling Out Detroit and one anthology through Marygrove Press and now Peshekee.

RED, I want to write full-time. Gaining clips establishes my credibility and reputation. Plenty of folks have dreams. Mine is to write professionally, full-time. I'm paying my dues and punching the clock to care for my children. One day though, I will live my passion and somebody's going to pay me for it.

To have the publishing community acknowledge the merit of your work is an accomplishment, and I encourage my peers to submit. You have something to say. Let your voice be heard.

Thanks everyone.

Peace,

daughter

 

[WriterDom]

It's a lot more work to get in print. I don't have the patience for it. But if anyone is interested, pick up a copy of The Poet's Market. Not only does it list the guidelines for 2000 or so pubs, but often gives you hints as to what type of poems they like to publish, and the rejection rates. Your only payment is usually 2 or 3 copies of the publication, but every little credit helps if you want to be taken seriously as a poet and move on to chapbooks and other opportunities.

Works Included

Hi, folks

I received 3 copies today. Works included are:

Ironically, tuck hasn't moved readers here though harlequin has done okay.

ascension has been in my sig line before and Locket is not published here.

Thanks for all your support.

Peace,

daughter

daughter's stories and poems

and specifically

Tuck Me In

and

harlequin: sista style

for the ones that are still here, i.e. not in daughter's sig. (I didn't know you put other stuff in there, thought it was just excerpts from your lit poems by the way

Drake

PS Could you put your poems/stories page URL in your profile daughter? Thanks, D.

PPS Congratulations again, and best of luck on your journey towards full time writing. I'm working towards that goal too. Well done on your publications! D.
