Anthology Builder
I talked in a previous post about Anthology Builder. I just received my first anthology from them, even quicker than was promised. I wrote more about it on my main blog, if you’d like to read.

I have thicker skin than I thought
Wow, I have thicker skin than I realized.
About 10 days ago, I had been commenting in my journal that there were several magazines that have not yet replied to my submissions, and that the time to start hearing responses was probably at hand. Since then, I got three responses, all rejections. Funny how that works out.
Today as I was writing in my journal, I commented that it is alright — I prefer timely responses, even if the news I hear isn’t what I would have preferred.
I didn’t realize I’d grown so thick-skinned!

More info
I’ve written about Sam’s Dot Publishing around here several times. I’ve recently posted more extensive information about my experiences with them over at my new blog.
Stop by and visit if you get the chance. It will be great to have you join the conversation.

Speculative Fiction Publishing Opportunities
If you are a writer of speculative fiction or related genres, you will find loads of possibilities for publication of your work at Ralan’s Specfic and Humor Extravaganza. There’s lots there for the humor writer too.
I found a few publishing houses through this website that have taken an interest in my sci-fi related poetry. Perhaps there will be a niche market listed in the links there that suits your work too. Do stop in and have a look. It will be well worth browsing through.

A Few Resources for Poets
I’ve recently been tasting just a bit of success in getting some work published. I’ve got about 15 poems in various print and online anthologies, along with essays here and there. While I count this all only as a very small start, I am pleased that it is a beginning of sorts, all the same.
I was thinking about some of the resources that have helped me get to this point in my writing, and thought I might should give some pointers to them here:
There are several books I have used for some time and still use on an almost daily basis. The most important is The Poet’s Market
The online courses at Writers Online, offered by Inspired Author are likewise very useful.
At firstwriter.com, there is a good database for poetry contests, and another for magazine publishers. From the main page, there are also resources for writers of other genres.
I’m not much of a fiction writer, but if you are, you might want to check out one more resource: Enspiren Press now has a call for submissions. It might be a great place for you to get a foot in the door and get your career off the ground.
