My latest rejection letter:

"I have read and discussed your manuscript in the editorial office, and although it has a literary style and a mysterious character, we do not feel that it is a good fit for our fund. We will therefore unfortunately pass up this manuscript."

The poetry group I belong to met to talk about getting poetry published in the UK. I blogged some notes about what we said and places we recently successfully submitted to https://josephinecorcoran.org/2022/11/20/on-getting-poems-published/ #PoetryPublishing #GettingPublished #Poetry

To those who have sent out a few chapters to agents/publishers:

Any tips? What other info are you sending in? Also, what is the best time (as in a month!) to send people stuff? I'm assuming the months around #nanowrimo would be 👎🏽?

Honestly, any advice would be amazing. I'd love to be able to pass this on to others too. xoxox
