I’ve been submitting to literary magazines for over thirty years, and in that time, I hope I’ve learned a thing or two about keeping track of my submissions and finding good opportunities for submitting. One thing, I’m continually thankful for is how much easier it has become to submit. When I started, it took subscribingContinue reading “Writers: How to Find and Track Submissions”

Oleada: A New Submission Platform
Tonight, I was happy to see a tweet from Oyez Review saying that they were accepting poetry submissions. When I clicked on the link, I was taken to a new site called {Oleada}. A little digging on the site revealed it to be a beta version of a new submission platform for publishers. I alsoContinue reading “Oleada: A New Submission Platform”
Submitting Poems
One of the benefits of completing SubTracker is that I’m getting back into submitting my poems again. I never stopped completely, of course, but my submissions slowed down when I made the decision to leave behind my old system and get to work on a new way of tracking them. Now that I’ve committed toContinue reading “Submitting Poems”
SubTracker Now Available
It’s been a long and interesting journey to take my old SuperCard project for tracking submissions and transfer my data to a LibreOffice database. After getting things working to may satisfaction, I’ve spent the last week or two tweaking the database and making it look a little nicer, then I deleted my data, so IContinue reading “SubTracker Now Available”

I was able to set up database tables for my Titles, Places (Magazines, Book Publishers, Prizes, etc.) and link those with a table for each Submission (one title per submission, though I canContinue reading “More Fun with Libre Office Base”
New Base for Submissions
One current project has been to finally get the data from my old submission tracking system transferred into LibreOffice‘s Base database program. As I wrote awhile ago, moving over 30 years worth of submissions from one platform to another is a monumental undertaking. Back when I moved from Hypercard to Supercard, there was a conversionContinue reading “New Base for Submissions”
Advice from the Editor’s Desk
This is the time of year I love — no, I’m not talking about preparations for Thanksgiving and Christmas or even about finals week. I’m talking about the time each year when I get to sit down, as I did this weekend, and put together the pages for Poetry South. As always, there has beenContinue reading “Advice from the Editor’s Desk”
Update on Submission Tracking
While working on a way to export my submission records from SuperCard to a file, I discovered I’ve recorded submissions for 541 titles. Here’s what I did.

The Art of Implication: replying to emails
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over many years of replying to email as an educator and a literary magazine editor, it’s to take a deep breath before writing a reply and to imply the things I’d like to say. So you can imagine the reply I might have sent to the submitter tone ourContinue reading “The Art of Implication: replying to emails”
