[Stylist] Nature Poetry Submissions

Wed Aug 19 00:37:23 UTC 2020

Congratulations on your publication. That is a wonderful  achievement.  Yes,
I know what you mean about all the things we have to figure out how to do -
but we do have to try to balance it all out.  I am retired now - for the
past 12 years, and that helps a lot. I could never have done all the work I
now do, if I was still teaching full-time. I did a lot, but I can do much
more now.  I think the best way to approach it is to have fun with what you
are doing. I don't think of any of it as work, but I think of playing. It' a
game and I am playing the game.  Lynda

Hi Linda, 

Thank you so much for the info. I joined writer circle in the NFB
conference, I'm a new author of the book identity theft a victims search for
justice by Deborah E Joyce.

As a new author I have a quick question - with all the marketing research,
blogging, social media, etc. Where do you find the time to write?

I didn't know anything, I just wanted to write a memoir about a personal
experience.

Sunday Afternoon Greetings,

I am sharing  a site for the publication of Nature Poetry - Plum Tree Tavern
- editor Russell Streur.

This is a nature-themed poetry site that I like very much.  The editor has
clear and specific guidelines about what he expects so it is easy to know if
your poem might be just right for his publication. That makes it easy to
select the work you may want to send.

I have been so occupied with writing my books - that I have neglected
sending out poems to some publications that I have had work in - so I
thought of Plum Tree Tavern and began to work on a submission to send for
the Autumn  season.  As I looked over his guidelines to refresh my mind, I
noticed something that caught my attention.  I discovered that he has listed
my new chapbook - first snow - on his list of recommended readings by the
Tavern. That was a nice surprise - 

Here is the link to my chapbook if you want to have a look at what it is
like:
https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/first-snow-by-lynda-mckinney-lamb
ert/

This publisher shows the book covers and right beside the cover image, they
put a portrait of the author. I've not seen that done before but I think it
is a great idea.

If you want to send out something for consideration to The Plum Tree Tavern,
here is the link to the guidelines:
https://theplumtreetavern.blogspot.com/p/guidelines.html

Happy submitting - August is the best month of the year to submit work.

Editors do not get so much work submitted in August, I have read numerous
times by authors who have said this. People are usually on holiday in August
and  writers  wait till fall to resume sending out their work.  Don't miss
an opportunity.
