Getting your work out is one of the preoccupations of a writer. We are constantly in search of a ‘home’ for the poems, stories, and non-fictional pieces we invested hours into creating. This is because the world will not trace us to our quiet writing corner to read all the didactic or aesthetic goodies we create. Literary platforms become our showcase or something like a ‘bar’ where literary enthusiasts would stop by to drink from the creative wine we brewed in solitude.
Literary Platforms to submit to:
We recently shared a complete guide on how to get your work to as many literary platforms as possible. If you haven’t read that, it would be a good place to start. You need to have a good knowledge of what is required of you before you can submit your work to the literary platforms in this list.
Poetry Magazine
This is one of the biggest Literary Magazines in the world. And they just don’t put your work in front of thousands, they pay you some good money for the efforts invested in creating great lines. They are very picky and yeah… Isn’t that what we should expect from a top literary platform? Below are some things to keep in mind, if you intend sending your work to Poetry Magazine:
Send one submission at a time. Wait until you receive our decision before uploading anything else. Multiple submissions in the same genre (or identical works submitted in multiple genres) will be archived unread, and will receive no response.
Put all your poems in one document. (Don’t submit poems separately.)
Use the Add File button to find the work on your computer you want to submit…
