Question Posted Sunday May 13 2007, 12:11 am

It says in your occupation that you are a free lance writer and author. I was wondering, as an emerging poet, what would be some good poetry magazines that would be likely to publish an emerging writer? So far I've sent some submissions to Octopus Magazine and New Yorker(which I have no chance of getting in)

Thanks.

An "emerging poet" and "emerging fiction writer" have to start more at a lower level than your mentioned magazines.

I personally recommend any poetry and fiction short stories, be submitted online to LBF BOOKS. lbfbook.com

They have three magazines. Printed magazines.

I am three time published in Writers Post Journal.

I have one poem (written and dedicated to a step-son that committed suicide) and two short fiction stories (one is flash fiction, 500 words, and the other historical literary fiction story)...

Go to lbfbooks.com, join up (it's free) and click on (left menu) the Writer's Post Journal. It will have a submission portal for you after joining,
and you can do it all online. The WPJ editors will notify online and by email IF they accept your poem(s). No payments are given by the magazine, but to be in print, a $9 magazine is fantastic start.

You also receive a contributor's copy of that issue you are in.

(You need to write yourself a bio, too. They have contributor's bios in each magazine your poems or stories are in. (Bios are written in third person)

Google poetry magazine submissions, and you'll get bunches, but beware of the scammer: Poetry.com and it's subsididaries. Read all about their scam when Googling them (unless you already know)...
