Summer Submissions

Summertime is when many of us have more time. More time for at last sending off some of those poems that have been waiting for our attention. The problem is that a number of the journals you have on your list don't read in the summer. Still, there are a number of journals that do read in the summer or at least part of the summer. Here's part of my list of those journals. If this seems useful, I'll post more in a later post. Please note that these are all print journals. Also, please note that it might not be one hundred percent accurate as journals often change their guidelines. Check guidelines at the journal's website. Then please, if you find an error, let me know. Good luck!
