Would you like some ENCOURAGEMENT? Some editing advise? A PROD to publish?
I am starting a writer's group of a maximum of six poets. We will edit each others verses and encourage and assist each other in submitting verse to magazines which PAY for short stories or for poetry. So far I have accepted 1 person Joann. The results will not be posted here and correspondance may occur in soup mail or email. We will share leads. For example:
Heroic Fantasy Quaterly at
heroicfantasyquaterly.com
IS accepting submissions from NOW until 5/30 and pays $25
*They have NOT that I could see specified unpublished works..........
Ancient Pathes Literary Magazine
SSBurris@cox.net

$50 payment
You need to be serious about writing daily and about editing the works of the others in the group. I will let you know in Soup Mail if a slot is open for you.
