Writer Camp was amazing this year! I wrote 14 new poems for my book, reconnected with old friends, made some new ones, and was told I dress like a 2-year-old!

I got to see Castle Rat in concert a week and a half ago along with Dethklok and Amon Amarth, and picked up this beauty.

“Being passed over isn’t a judgment of you as a writer. ...This perhaps just wasn’t the right time to submit your piece about large, white birds.” Damien Cowger, managing editor of New Ohio Review, offers an editor’s perspective on rejection: at.pw.org/AERCowger

At the beer store earlier and there was a box labeled “free” cigar boxes. I didn’t know what they wanted in return.

I think this comment for @newohioreview.bsky.social speaks for itself 🖤 Show your favorite lit mags + editors some love before our Best Lit Mag Awards voting closes next month! www.chillsubs.com/best-lit-mag...

This magazine was one of my best publication experiences as a writer. I heard from a few readers after publishing with them which rarely happens. They publish in print and then release the issue online so you get the best of both worlds. They give you the option of recording your piece. They made me feel like a "real" writer.
