Lit Bloom

Check out this blog post from my personal writing blog where I give some tips on how to submit to lit mags!

I have a really bad habit of not checking the email account for my blog. Most of the emails I get there are spam but once in a while, there's a real gem. So if you sent something to me months ago, I'm sorry for the late reply! Must start forwarding it to my real email...

Shoutout to @lbluemarble, @SplitRockReview, @EcotoneMagazine, @terrainorg, and @SinkingCity who are featured in this post!

5 Lit Mags Focused on the Environment litbloom.com/2021/06/18/5-l…

I always enjoy a good dystopian education story (it's a soft spot of mine as a teacher" so I liked this fun, absurdist glimpse into the future from Joshua Benjamin in @FunFunFunicular funicularmagazine.com/read/elmscurvy…

I'm working up the energy to write a blog post for #poetrymonth on some poetry-focused lit journals. In the meantime, I'd thought I'd share some cool pieces from lit journals that I've read this week.
