When I first started sharing submission calls, submitting tips, and other poetry related posts on my blog in October of last year, I wasn’t really expecting it to get much attention. But I wanted to keep track of information for myself and felt like sharing it as I discovered it might be something others would appreciate. It’s gone so much better than I ever expected! I’ve met a lot of amazing writers and poets and broadened my online community by a landslide.
