Last week I heard back on one of my submissions. And after a few edits, I’m pleased to say that I have a poem coming out in Rune Bear’s weekly series on September 17th!
Rune Bear is an online speculative fiction literary magazine (that I highly recommend, especially since it’s free).
The poem is called “They say we die twice.” I’ve been looking to give it a home, and it finally has one. It’s one of my favorite poems that I’ve written and has a dark, mysterious, and sci-fi theme that encompasses much of what I love about poetry.
For all the writers out there, I would recommend submitting to Rune Bear (and not just because they are publishing one of my pieces). Rune Bear has a great response time (only a few weeks), and they were professional and prompt in their communications. Plus, submitting shorter pieces to different publications is a great way to be published while you work on a longer project (like a manuscript).
Check out my poem soon (sept. 17th)! And in the meantime, here’s another poem I wrote that you can read for free.

Thanks!
I was really impressed with Rune Bear’s response time, especially when compared to many (if not most) publications that have a response time of over a month (and sometimes several months). Best of luck! And I’d love to hear how it goes!
And thanks for checking out my blog!

I’ve endured response times of 10 months…….the main culprits are all on Submittable. 🙁

That’s an insane wait! And especially awful if those weren’t allowed to be simultaneous submissions!
