I am pleased to have had two poems published here, in Tuck Magazine.
I am particularly happy to be published here since Tuck Magazine tries to bring social justice issues to light, while helping its writers publish. Perhaps you want to get a more global look at issues; Tuck Magazine does that.
Where have you been submitting? How is writing and publishing going for you?
Thanks for reading!

Educators–this is important information. We are fighting for the very existence of public education.
Remember Michelle Rhee’s visit to North Carolina last year for a “closed-door” meeting (February 7th ,2017) with lawmakers brokered by an educational lobbying body of business leaders called BEST NC (coupled with the NC GOP’s invitation to Betsy DeVos who had just been confirmed as Trump’s secretary of education)?
It was another ominous omen of what has been and will continue to be attempted in North Carolina – the further privatization of public education in North Carolina.

Writers! Perhaps you knew about this great feature of Submittable, but I did not until today. Submittable.com is a site where some publishers collect submissions to journals and contests, reply to the writers, accept submissions, reject submissions. It’s a way to read submissions “blindly,” without seeing an author’s name.
I like using Submittable, since it also helps me keep track of what piece of writing I’ve submitted where.
What I just discovered, however, is a great find: the “discover” section of the website. There I found many journals listing their requirements, deadlines, etc. All in one place.
I also found sites I now like to read from (is that the term…read from? Read there?)
So, writers, if you haven’t discovered the DISCOVER feature of Submittable yet, here you go: Discover Opportunities Submittable. If you don’t have an account there yet, you will need to create a free account.
What are some useful writing tools you have discovered?
Thanks for reading!
