Patrick Cotter challenged his Facebook friends to come clean about their publishing successes and rejections. 2015 has been overall a fantastic year where I learned my first collection will be published by Doire Press next year. However, throughout the year, I’ve been sending off poems to magazines and journals. I’ve had a few bites but I also got a lot of no thank yous. Here’s my 2015 log:
Successes

- Bray Arts Journal: Facade published
- Spontaneity: Palette published
