Students in Need!

hey_pink · Mar 17, 2005

Hello, I am a student at Blake High School in Tampa, FL. I am a member of the Creative Writing department at my school. I noticed that we don't submit our poetry to a great number of magazines or books. We HAVE submitted to some of the more popular publish-anything-books, but the standards of the writing from our department deserve a lot more credit and respect than that. I was hoping I could be refered to some of the better more credible publishers who accept submissions. Most of the work is adult-level writing, so high-school level AND adult-level contests will do!

Thank you!

((( And just in case you want to contact the head of the department:

Here are some resources that should help:

Some excellent tips on how to sell poetry, from published poet Neile Graham.
Good advice on writing and publishing poetry, from the Academy of American Poets.
An article on how to submit poetry to literary magazines.
Last but not least, some warnings about contests and anthologies.

Another place to start would be Poet's Market. Just be sure to cross reference with the warning sites.
