Do u know magazines or journals which will publish ur original poetry?

Answer 1

Buy a copy of Poet's Market. The 07 issue is out now but an 06 copy will do just as well and be cheaper. Read the market listings, find out where your type of poetry would fit in, go to the ones that list websites and read samples of what they publish. If they do not have a website, follow the advice listed and send for a sample of a previous publication. This is the way I began to be published. The publishers listed in the Poet's Market are the "real thing" unlike poetry.com etal.

Answer 2

Take a look at the book Writer's Market, or (what I use), their website found at www.writersmarket.com. I also suggest a book by the same company called Formatting & Submitting Your Manuscript for help with the technical aspect of what a submission should contain. It is my favorite reference for how to write a cover letter and format your poems on the page. You will need to use proper spelling and grammar when you submit, or no respectable journal will look at your work.

However, you have to do your research as well. Gather some names of magazines, journals, websites, etc and then take a look at them! Don't just read their submission guidelines but take a look at what kinds of stories they contain. Spend time at your local public library, they normally have a vast collection of magazines that can help you do this research.

And you will get rejected. Possibly quite a bit. It has happened to every great writer (and musician, artist, etc). Have patience and keep submitting to appropriate publications, and your poems will be published somewhere.

If you haven't read them yet, check out these books for help in your writing:

1) "On Writing Well" by William Zinsser-- This is an excellent reference for any kind of writing. It will make your emails, essays, stories, and other writing clearer. I recommend this to everyone who wants to improve their writing skills.

2) "Bird By Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life" by Anne Lamott-- This is slightly more geared towards fiction writing, but can be helpful when you are attacking ANY large project in your life. Definitely a must for creative writers, students, or people who are looking for an entertaining book on writing.

3) "Writing Down the Bones" by Natalie Goldberg. You didn't mention if you want to improve your writing for school, work, or if you are a creative writer. This definitely targets creative writing, and focuses on the practice of writing. I write a lot of poetry and am working on a novel, and this is incredibly motivational to me.

Answer 3

Try to figure out which subgenre your poetry would best fit into, like maybe it's Sci-fi relative, then google. If you're a college student, or graduate student, look for literary journals that are currently accepting submissions. All of this stuff can be found on google. You just have to word your search as specifically as possible.

Answer 4

No, sorry. However, if you go onto poetry.com, you will find that they are very lenient when judging poetry...submit some of your poems, and chances are that they will end up online. I already have five online: my name is Whitney Hales. Not Whitney K. Hales...Whitney Hales.
