Come Watch Me, Dance Naked
Jaachi, I am the tree which died in the seedlings you refused to tend. I am a memory you cannot drown in a keg of palm-wine, for like a feather, I will float upon the rivers of your thoughts till you recall and regret the night when you abandoned a broken flute at the village square, for I am that flute and wholeness found me in the hands of a drummer boy who lost his drumsticks.

As a writer, submitting to literary journals is nearly as important as writing because these journals showcase you to one fraction of the literary world, which ordinarily may not have a sip of what you brew except for the exposure of certain journals. Literary journals go like, Hollup! Look what we’ve got here!! One more amazing talent!!! Getting one’s work to pass every level of editorial screening before an acceptance is definitely not an easy thing. This is especially so for writers who are new to submitting to journals, ezines, and other platforms. Are there any tips to increase your chances of literary journal acceptances? Let’s help you get a literary journal acceptance!![]()

A couple of weeks ago, a writer requested that we write on submitting to journals and give general suggestions on how to write pieces that can catch an editor’s eyes. We gave this a thought and we have come up with a list of suggestions on what to do before and while and after submitting to any literary journal. There are hundreds of literary journals out there eager to publish new voices and extra-ordinary pieces but why do thousands of writers get rejection letters daily? Are all those thousands of writers writing trash? Are the editors sadists who want to see writers become morose and depressed? The answer to these two questions is one big NO. The reasons for rejections vary and some of them are for the tiniest details which writers overlook.![]()

A literary journal acceptance is one thing writers want to wake up to daily. Oh, the thrill! The momentary feeling of fulfillment and joy which echoes in the quietness of your writing space. This thrill can make you stay up for an extra hour to write at night. It is true that we write, first for ourselves, then for others but then, it is such a joy for people to identify with what you write and want to show it to an audience.![]()

Some years back, an editor gave his remarks about the entries of a certain writing contest where entrants were instructed to write a maximum of 400 words. Many people didn’t make the shortlist because they wrote more than the required word count. Writers are people who should be able to pay attention to details and carefully spread their creativity only as far as allowed. Wondering how to get your work on as many literary journals? Here are some tips!![]()
