    Just wanted to say that I really love your videos. A topic that interests me is what journals you can submit too. I looked online and I honestly got completely lost. Anyway, good luck on your challenge before 27 (yiu deserve more than 500 subscribers) and thank you for your channel and the information you give us all.

      Thank you so much for your comment! This made me very happy. I'll definitely work on a video on finding journals 😊

      Hey Rose - I just wanted to let you know that I've made a video about finding journals to submit to. You can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/KHjxGlZNAdM/видео.html

    This was very helpful and I was just wondering what to write if we dont have any previous published peices and no competition backgrounds? Lol, my cover letters are mostly blank because of that.

    Shall I include my name in the cover letter if it asks to write in third person?
    And does local writers get an upper hand over foreign writers?

    • @JosieAlfordPoet
      @JosieAlfordPoet  2 года назад

      Yes include your name if writing in the third person. As for international writers, it depends on the publication - some places actively look for poems from round the world! My advice is to just keep trying

    Stop making us crave for what your drinking before educating us because the craving will make our eyes to be focused on the cup hahaha.

      I should add a disclaimer that everyone should make a cup of tea before sitting down to watch my videos :)

      That's the spirit

    Shouldn't I explain what my poetry is about.

    • @JosieAlfordPoet
      @JosieAlfordPoet  3 года назад

      Hey! Thanks for the comment - it depends on what you're submitting. If you're submitting a collection then it is worth giving an overview of the collection. But for individual poems for publication I don't think it is necessary.

      BUT if you really want to - I say no more than one sentence!
