I know via Facebook and Twitter that many contributors have had publication successes over this past year. So let's get a good list going in the comments. This will be a good way for us to not only share our successes, but for others to get some ideas, inspiration, and places to submit.
Also, C.D. Smith, the editor of Fire Point: A Journal of MFA Prose and Poetry wants everyone to check them out. Submit!
Raina tweeted that the deadline for Best New Poets is approaching on 5/20. The reading fee is only $3.50 per two poems. You can't beat that for possible publication in a book.
I'll be doing my first year wrap-up soon! And fixing up the contributor's list. I don't have an update on my progress on world peace.
Post your pubs in the comments!
This school year I had publications in Torch! and Assisi.
ReplyDeleteOh! People who aren't contributors...feel free to share here too, please!
I have an essay coming out in The Lettered Olive, the national undergrad lit magazine at The University of South Carolina. It also won 1st place in their prose contest.
ReplyDeleteNice post. I think the journal's called Fire Point though!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the publication and the prize, Lindsay!
ReplyDeleteGood catch, Christopher! Thanks!
Congrats on the successes already posted and those to be posted later!
ReplyDeleteI got very lucky this school year and managed to place 10 poems. Some of them found homes online and some in print. Some were in more established places, and some were in upstarts. I'm an equal opportunity submitter!
Print: Copper Nickel (2 poems), Poet Lore, Sakura Review, Old Red Kimono
Online: Linebreak, Scythe (3 poems), The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature
I look forward to reading about and reveling in everyone's successes!
Niiiiice, Nick! Big year for you for acceptances...MFA programs included. Congrats! I'm pretty sure I read and enjoyed you on Linebreak. I'll have to check it out again.
ReplyDeleteNo publications, unfortunately. But I did get into the Callaloo Writers Workshop & am General Editor of the Minnesota Review.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to everyone!
ReplyDeleteThanks, JayTee. And big congrats on both of those achievements, Raina!
ReplyDeleteWow, everyone-- there's so much to be proud of. I'm pretty jazzed about this year-- I placed a poem in the inaugural issue of "Big Lucks" and two stories, one in "The Meadowland Review," and one in "Broad River Review."
ReplyDeleteMy big publication 'success' though is that I've continued writing for my college town paper, the Evansville Courier & Press-- it's afforded me some really cool opportunities, and even led to a couple kind of cool blog opportunities, including last week when I got to interview Art Alexakis of Everclear.
Congrats guys!!
ReplyDeleteThroughout the school year (Fall 2009 to Present) I've had poems named first and third runner-up in the 2009 International Reginald Shepherd Memorial Poetry Prize, selected by Carl Phillips. I've had or will have poems appearing in Knockout Literary Magazine, Indiana Review, Nashville Review, Ganymede, The Collagist. Been a good year.
ReplyDeleteI have a poem being published in the lit magazine at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi (my alma mater) entitled "The Heart of Things". I rarely write poetry, so the notification was a pleasant surprise.
ReplyDeleteI have two poems coming out, one in the Potomac Review and one in The Los Angeles Review, both in print and both due in the fall. I'm very excited! Congrats to everyone else getting published!
ReplyDeleteI had a bit of success in my first MFA year, landing two stories in publications, one in Storyglossia and one in Staccato. Placed one poem in Anthills and had a story accepted for presentation this fall at MMLA in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteNot too bad. I'll take it.
Work forthcoming winter 2010/spring 2011 in Black Warrior Review, Cincinnati Review, Massachusetts Review, and Prairie Schooner.
ReplyDeleteI have three poems in the current issue of Apropos Literary Journal: http://www.aproposthearts.com/
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess I'll update this to say I recently got three poems accepted by Poetry East. Forthcoming Fall 2011.
ReplyDeleteHey, I run a magazine called Muzzle, and we have a submission deadline on April 15th! We often publish younger poets and would love to see some MFA work :)

Also, in the past year I have had a lot of good fortune getting published. A few magazines that I've had work in fairly recently(or have work forthcoming in)that might be worth submitting to are: Rattle, Thieves Jargon, Night Train, Union Station, and Decomp.
