In order to get to any level of success in writing, let alone famous, I believe you have to submit your work consistently.
I know that I should spend more time submitting my finished work, especially poems. But between the day job, daily life activities, and actually writing, I often feel like I'm too busy or preoccupied to submit my work to journals and contests.
That’s why I need to spend some time studying Robert Lee Brewer’s collection of “Poetry Submission Tips from Other Poets.” I’m sure I can steal at least one tidbit of advice from the poetry pros who contributed to this article…and upgrade my poetry submission routine in 2017.
