I am officially working on a guide to submitting to literary magazines!

On the one hand, it feels a little silly to me to be putting this together with the intention of selling it, because it’s information that I know is available for free. The thing about that free info though is that it’s scattered all over the place, and it’s taken me years to compile what I feel like I need to know in order really be an expert at this. Something I’m really trying to work on is not devaluing my own work–I’ve got an expertise, why not make use of it?

Here’s a sneak peek of some of the content (this is technically about unsolicited submissions, but it’s also a pep talk/warm hug!):

Submitting to lit mags is an arduous process of hundreds of rejections to one acceptance. As those rejections start to roll in, remember that you are one of thousands experiencing this. Always remember that you are not alone in this. At the very least, I’m here doing it with you!

All that being said…what would you pay for a guide to submitting to literary magazines? Does $5.00 seem reasonable?

Love and gratitude, as always.

I am trying to post something every day reflecting on creativity, what’s inspiring me now and what’s inspired me in the past, what I’m working on. Think of this is a public writing journal, made public only in an attempt to make myself more accountable.
