167 Literary Magazines Accepting Reprints

167 Literary Magazines Accepting Reprints

fashion style    4:12 AM   

There is nothing quite like having your work published, especially after you have spent months sending your stories or poems to magazines that take forever to respond.

Sadly, the elation you feel when you have finally seen your work in print may be short-lived. Most stories and poems that make their way into literary journals have only a brief shelf-life. After readers have read your work and the issue has been archived, now what?

One good way to extend the life of your story is to send it to literary magazines that accept reprints.

Fortunately, there are a lot of literary magazines willing to accept stories that have already been published. Very few of them will pay you, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have reached more readers.

All of these markets are currently accepting reprints and all allow simultaneous submissions. Make sure you read their websites carefully to see if your work will be a good fit. And make sure that all rights have reverted to you when you submit to them. (Look at the contract you signed with the original publisher. It should say "All rights revert to author upon publication" or "All rights revert to author after X months.")

23 Poetry Publishers Accepting Unagented Manuscripts

23 Poetry Publishers Accepting Unagented Manuscripts

fashion style    4:46 AM   

"Muse Becomes Poet" by Donald Langosy

There are dozens of English language poetry publishers, but not all publishing houses are created equal. Some only publish poetry that has been entered into one of their contests (for which there is a charge), others demand an upfront fee or stipulate that a certain number of books must be pre-ordered. And the largest houses only consider manuscripts submitted though agents.

This list consists of publishers that do not charge a fee or require an agent, and which offer royalties, however modest. All of them publish book-length collections and/or chapbooks. (I have not included literary journals on this list. For poetry journals please see: Top 5 Resources for Publishing Poetry.)

The November Poem-A-Day Challenge: Poets, Get Busy!

The November Poem-A-Day Challenge: Poets, Get Busy!

fashion style    3:50 AM   

The Favourite Poet by Sir Lawrence Aldama-Tadema

Writer's Digest editor Robert Lee Brewer's answer to NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is the PAD (Poem- A-Day) Chapbook Challenge.

Every day during the month of November, poets respond to a daily prompt by writing a poem.

After the month is over, poems are winnowed to 20, then, in December, assembled into a chapbook.

Aside from spurring poets on to bigger and better things, Writer's Digest has a lot of great information for writers of all stripes.

You can sign up for the weekly Writer's Digest newsletter HERE. (It's free!) The Day 1 Challenge is HERE. To find daily prompts go to the Writer's Digest home page and scroll down.

Here are the basics of the November PAD Chapbook Challenge:

• Beginning on November 1 (Atlanta, Georgia time), I will share a prompt and poem each day of November on this blog.

• Poets are then challenged to write a poem each day (no matter where you live on the planet) within 24 hours (or so) from when the prompt is posted. Don’t worry: If you fall behind or start late, you CAN play catch up.

• Poets do NOT have to register anywhere to participate. In fact, poets don’t even need to post to this blog to be considered participants.

• The Challenge will unofficially conclude around 24 hours after the final prompt is posted. That said…

• This Challenge is unique, because I expect poets to take all the material they’ve written in November and create a chapbook manuscript during the month of December. (Yes, you can revise material, and yes, the chapbook should be composed mostly of poems written for the challenge–I’m using the honor system.)

• Poets have until 11:59 p.m. (Atlanta, GA time) on January 7, 2015, to submit a manuscript that can be 10-20 pages in length (not including table of contents, title page, etc.) with no more than one poem per page. So if you wrote 50 poems in November, you have to narrow them down to the best 20 (or even fewer). Submit manuscripts to robert.brewer@fwcommunity.com with the subject line: 2014 November PAD Chapbook Challenge. (The subject line is very important, because I have a very busy inbox.)

• The goal will be to announce a winning manuscript by Groundhog Day 2015. February 2, 2015, for those of you unfamiliar with that particular holiday.

What do poets get out of this challenge?

If nothing else, they get several new poems, but I’ve heard plenty of success stories over the years from poets who have gone on to publish individual poems from these challenges and even complete collections (mostly inspired by the challenges).

Plus, the winner gets recognized on this blog, along with many honorable mentions. That’s a good thing.

Regarding comments, this blog has a history with commenting problems, which why I don’t make it mandatory for poets to post on the blog to participate. However, I think poets who do comment get a lot out of it by sharing their work and creating a community on the blog. Just make sure you save all your work elsewhere too – like in a notebook or Word doc. It’s good to have backups.

If you have any additional questions, shoot them to me in the comments.

I can’t wait to see everyone in November.

This will be his seventh year of hosting and participating in the November PAD (Poem-A-Day) Chapbook Challenge. As much as he loves the hustle and bustle of the April PAD Challenges, November is nice for a few reasons, including the focus on creating a chapbook and just the laid back feel. Some of his favorite poems have come out of the November challenges, and he can’t wait to get started again.
