I'm a Published Poet

I logged into my email account
on Thursday and I saw a new email from the editors at “The RavensPerch” online
literary journal. The five poems they accepted for publication are now live on
their website, waiting for readers.

I immediately went to the
website and when I saw my name featured on the journal’s home page, my jaw
dropped. Not only am I a published poet, but the editors are promoting my work
on the home page of their website. At the top of the page, it reads, “Trending:
‘Directions for Finding Home’ by Kasy Long.”
I’m a trending topic!
It’s unbelievable to see
my name next to a published poem. My hard work is finally beginning to pay off
with my poems being recognized by beautiful literary journals. My creative
writing portfolio is growing, my resume is including more acceptances and my
own document of my literary magazine submissions is changing from rejections to
acceptances.

I’m a published poet. I’m
not trying to brag, but I think this is something worth noting and sharing.
Some writers spend their entire lives trying to have their work published and
it never happens for them. I’m still a college student; I have so much more to
learn and my writing is going to continue to mature.

my published poetry. I am so excited to share my pieces with as many readers as
I can reach!

Congratulations on being a published poet. It's nice to see all of your hard work pay off. Literature is a challenging profession. It is filled with lots of rejection -- lots. That's why you have every reason to feel proud of your recent publications. I believe this is going to be the start of a rewarding career. I will enjoy reading your poems along the way.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being a published poet! You have every reason to feel proud as it is very difficult and a sometimes long process getting published. Your poems are so beautiful! Keep writing and keep submitting your work. I look forward to reading more of your writing in the future! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, it's really cool that your poem got published! I'm not sure what the odds were, but with only five poems being selected, I'm sure they weren't favorable. Being chosen for one of these honors is always satisfying and it's a great way other people to get exposed to your work.
