Two days ago now I received an email from a friend of mine saying that a publisher was hunting own some new poets to get published through them. At first I wasn't going to bother as I didn't think that my poetry was that good to be honest. But he insisted that I send in a submission and if I got a rejection that I would get some amazing feedback. So yesterday evening I sent off a submission with four of my poems in it to the publisher. Today when I checked my emails there was one from the publisher asking me to send off a manuscript of 40 - 80 poems so she could further review my poetry. I may still get a rejection but the fact that she has asked to further review my work is a really great sign. I'm so damn excited and I had to share the good news with everyone. I will keep you all posted on how I go with this. Fingers crossed that I get accepted. Now I just have to sift through everything and get my best pieces put together and sent off. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Torana
Wow, it's always great to hear stories like that! I truely hope they love your poetry. And if not, it's still freakin awesome!
Thank you so much. Either way I will get some fabulous feedback on my work and can resubmit again at a later date. So even a rejection isn't a bad thing. I'm just so excited she wants to view more. I sent my valentine poem in though. I am surprised it didn't put her off....<giggle>
That's awesome Torana, I hope you go far with this, it sounds like they like your stuff. Congratulations!
Thank you so much Montag They have so far. Just the next stage is the nerve wracking one. Once I send off the manuscript and have to wait for the final answer!
Best of luck. If good wishes from friends count for anything Your poems will be a shoo-in luv and hugs.
Oww,, congrats darling, I hope they see sence and accept your poetry, some of your work is truely amazing. I'll have my fingers and toes crossed for ya
fingers crossed for you, torana!... care to share the name of the publisher? [it can't hurt your chances, to mention it ;-) ]... hugs, m
Lessa thank you kindly (hugs) heather thanks darl (hugs) Maia thank you very kindly and the publisher is Wildchild Publishing. I'm sure you have heard of them before Maia. I buy all my books through them. I've found some really good pieces on there that is for sure. Plus they are pretty cheap.
Torana, Great news and thanks for sharing! Keep us updated...I know these things can take several months or more. Terry
Thank you kindly Terry. I'll let you all know of ay progress with it. I've sent off the manuscript so fingers crossed I hear good news back from them soon. Thank you all for the support Torana
wow thank you maia. I'm not in yet. I only sent the manuscript in yesterday. I could still get a rejection from them yet. But at least I have been given the opportunity to show my work.
Yeah pretty much. I only ever buy ebooks. I find it easier that way to be honest. I bought a few paper back books and well....my little angels got a hold of them and that was the last I ever saw of them. So now if I read anything it is all online or ebooks. I just find it is easier for me to read from my laptop. A personal preferance I suppose.
