Subs 1 Mar - 1 Apr or 1 Aug - 1 Sept | New literary mag & blog | Art Writing Scripts & More | Feedback & Classes | EIC @hannaswork 🍀
- The perfect cover letter begins: “Dear Editors” -No need to name everyone on the masthead, or risk calling the wrong person EIC 1/
- Here’s our contributors list for Issue 1 - coming soon! Delighted to work with these folks 🍀
- Oh look what finally arrived. (The postal service lost the first ever printed issue, so this is the replacement.) Coming soon to our website 🍀
- We’re in print! Print-on-demand issues now available on our website & thru the link in our bio. International shipping options. Get your own now 🍀
00:00 - Oh, and our Nonfiction Editor kindly asks for more submissions.
GIF - Replying to @belfastreviewYou can use this same basic formula to submit to every magazine ever. Brief, readable, and to the point makes you stand out 🍀 /end
- This was launch day for us: Twitter blew up. Went to @thelinenhall for an event @WednesdayErskin in person. Twitter blew up some more. So many kind words to read as we waited out the rainy afternoon, supporting local authors in Belfast 🍀
- Helpful reminders for writers: -an offer of publication is not your only shot at publication -you should feel happy about where & how your work is featured -the editorial process should respect your voice & vision, not erase it -there’s always another place to submit to
- We had 300 submissions last round, but planned for only 100 since that’s what most newbie journals get. Lessons learned. New plans made. Coming 1st March, we’re ready for the next 300. Bring it.
GIF - Yes, a few of you who submitted early got early acceptances today. Don’t worry - we’re still hard at work reading everyone else’s submissions. All in good time!
- Two more days. Submissions to the magazine closing soon. We’d love more visual art, nonfiction, song lyrics, and scripts!
- You’re all legends. The Linenhall Library wants a copy of our first issue for their permanent collection. For the archive. For history 🍀 (Link in bio if you haven’t read it yet.)
