I did it. I managed to get a literary magazine to publish my work. For this magazine I submitted both works of fiction and poetry. The editors both responded briefly but at least it wasn't an automated rejection and one was actually an acceptance for the poetry.
How did I do it?
This is kind of sneaky but I think it helped my chances. I went onto the Poets and Writers website at http://www.pw.org/ and looked for the most recently reporting literary magazines or rather the newest magazines accepting online submissions and simultaneous submissions.
That's where I found this new little gem. Blue Lake Review.
The editor misspelled my name but other than that I'm positively glowing that a poem got picked up. Check out the April 2011 edition at http://bluelakereview.weebly.com.
The image of the jester was a little offputting, but maybe I'll be nominated for a pushcart prize for poetry...I might be getting ahead of myself.
