For years, I have written poetry. It started when I was living up in isolation in the Rocky mountains, working for various hotels as a cook and server. My wife was with our son, living at her parent's house. Anyway, I recently started looking seriously into publication. I have already been accepted by various websites and journals. Having been nominated by ILOP twice for the national award in America and I am not even American, I was quite pleased with myself.
Now maybe my ego needed a reality check, but for three months, I simply got rejected working off a list of email submissions and a magazine on literature. I strongly suggest staying away from Reuter's list and the magazine, 'American Writers'. The Reuter's list consists of elitist editors who don't pay a dime, have little exposure of influence in the industry.
I was harassed by a man from Ampelsand journal, who told me I was being defrauded & used, that my poetry was no good. I was just accepted by 2 mags & major co.
