  • When we start out trying to get our poems published, it is really hard to know where to start and how to find magazines, journals and competitions. In this video, I give you 8 useful tips on finding new publications and how to decide whether you should submit.

    I agree with you on paying to submit 100%. I don't think it's right for publishers who do not pay their poets to ask for submission fees and it often makes me wonder if the publication is worth it since they are making back their overhead from submitters rather than readers. :/

      I've pretty much given up on publications paying their contributors but I think you make a great point about overheads. Thanks for watching x

    I'm lost in this world, feeling so small
    Like I don't belong, like I don't matter at all
    The weight of my thoughts, dragging me down
    Feeling so alone, in this crowded town
    But then hope comes knocking, like a friend
    Whispering in my ear, saying it's not the end
    That I'm worth more than I could ever know
    That I can find my way, and let my spirit glow
    I've never done anything wrong, so why
    Do I feel like a bad person, trying to hide
    From the truth that's inside, begging to be free
    To be myself, to be happy, to just be
    And then I see the stars, shining bright
    But it's like they're mocking me, taking flight
    Running away, leaving me in the dark
    Feeling so lost, like a wayward spark
    But then winter comes, and I feel at peace
    Even though I'm shivering, my soul finds release
    In the quiet of the snow, the stillness of the night
    I find a moment of solace, a moment of light
    But the world is so cruel, punishing the weak
    Leaving me feeling defeated, like a powerless freak
    And I want to run away, to escape this gutter
    To find a way out, to find my own butter
    And then I find something, something that's strange
    A desire, a selfishness, something that can change
    And I feel alive, feeling stronger every day
    Even though it's not right, even though I should stay away
    But I need to forget about reality, just for a while
    To find the overwhelming sense of freedom, and let it pile
    Let my spirit soar, let my heart sing
    And maybe, just maybe, I can find my own salvation within.

    Hello I really appreciate your heartfelt advice
    In a world that's not so nice
    It often makes my soul cry
    My question to mankind is why???
    Why do we do nothing to change our wolds song
    Everyone knows there's something so wrong
    Perhaps the meek will educate the strong
    Peace is such a beautiful concept where people get along
    Love and true compassion lead the way
    Today's the day to make tomorrow a better day
    You change the world one person at a time
    Empathy for another makes your soul shine
    Could be just a simple real life conversation
    If you see another struggling with their current situation
    Just by letting someone know their are those who truly care
    Instead of walking by with a blanked blinded stare
    if tattered clothes is all they have to wear does that define what your seeing
    Their just a struggling human being
    You know not what burdens they've lived through
    Ask them my friend just what troubles you can I help you
    They might need to feel some love from their fellow man
    A simple kind gesture of extending your benevolent hand
    Share some wisdom some direction from your wise well
    One down now up perhaps a friend or two he'll tell
    A down to earth movement that becomes a ground swell
    Shine your light in a world that's going to hell
    Forget about the ignorance of needless profit making blood money wars
    Let love and empathy lead the way for peace to soar
    We all have a important part to play
    If the good truly desire to make tomorrow go our way
    So to all that know humanity is on the wrong street
    Make a difference with the next person your blessed to meet
