OH GOD IT'S COME TO THAT!
Why! Why! Why! Why! Why!
Forget the last message I wrote!
Be recognised - sod all publishers and mags - go around towns with a mic and speak you storys and poetry! At least you'll get noticed for free!

Do not mention ...
after sending off a few treatments and lots of poems to the standard literary magazines and presses, i'm not heartened by the result. recently i've been looking at competitions and magazines which accept e-subs, and i'm not punch-pleased there either. a fair few links off sites to "literary" journals etc don't seem to be any more than vanity presses. i wonder whether there is such a thing now as a forum for honest to god writing, where 20-line poems are not read "on receipt of $25" and published in an anthology. i am at times a starving writer, not that i aim to make a living from it, since i would starve in any capacity i employed myself. i just want to be read, and on the internet it's not happening. my poems are not peerless in any regard but i am without peer. dejectedly so...

If there had been an overwhelming response why would you need to extend??? Don't you mean that you haven't ripped enough of those $25 dollars out of writers pockets yet??? Any press that asks for money for submissions should be burnt!!!

Looks like a good scam. Maybe there's something in it. If anyone wants me to read their book, I'll do it for £10.

I'll read three for £20 forwards and backwards.
