Getting Real As A Writer

Just a reminder to fellow cyberaddicts out there that there's still a real world when it comes to being a writer.

Below, you'll find a couple of the hard-copy publications I write for on a regular basis with details on how to become members and write for them, too (they're members only).

POETS AT WORK

This magazine (which arrives every other month--that is, six times per year) is chock full of poetry--plus lots of other unique goodies--and is produced and edited (with the help of God and family) by a delightful senior citizen who goes by the name of JESSEE POET and lives in northwest Pennsylvania.

There's always lots of contests going on that are very inexpensive to enter (some even being FREE!).

This is not only a magazine but, also, a kind of gathering of people from all over, as it has a real sense of community about it.

If you're ready to take me at my word, send Jessee a check for $23 right off the bat.

His address is:  P.O. Box 232, Lyndora, PA 16045

However, if you aren't quite sure I know what I'm talking about (or, at least, aren't quite sure that we have the same tastes in literature), you can always request a sample copy for just $4.00.

THE QUILL

If you pay your five dollar dues to become a member of the SOUTHERN INDIANA POETRY CLUB, you automatically become eligible to have your poems showcased in their four-times-per-year magazine known as THE QUILL.

Since I'm sure that you would not only want to know that your poems are in there but, also, to be able to hold a copy of this beautiful, colorful publication in your hands, you would surely want to subscribe to it as well.

For a year's membership in S.I.P.C. and a year's worth of THE QUILL, send check or money order for $25.40 to:
