How insurtech can better determine sufficient contents coverage
Homeowners and businesses often don’t have the time to inventory and price all of their furnishings and equipment for insurance purposes. (Studio Romantic/Adobe Stock) While many property owners understand the need for contents coverage, they often face challenges determining whether they have enough insurance.

Bone Music | Contrary Magazine
An electronic image depicts fractures in your parietal bone. Another, the slight twist and a minor chip in your pelvis. Weeks after, a third uncovers a displaced metatarsal. Looking over the radiologist’s shoulder, I imagine these ephemeral remnants as X-ray films from the fifties, rather than ones and zeroes— everlasting digital pixels.

How to Develop as a Poet - guest blog post by Yvonne Zipter
Guest Blog Posts By Trish Hopkinson on November 28, 2021 Having grown up in a working-poor family in which having no more than a high school education was the norm, poetry wasn’t something I knew much about. It certainly wasn’t a path I ever considered taking. Poetry was something other people did, and mostly it was opaque to me. Even in the public schools I attended, I don’t remember much poetry being taught. If it was discussed, it certainly didn’t make much of an impression on me.

Trish Hopkinson, “Uprooted,” 2021 Jack Grapes Poetry Prize Finalist selected by Judge Mariano Zaro This poem, articulated in perfectly paced tercets, is an exercise of specificity: “My mother pulled out the rhubarb”.

Literary magazines ranked by number of Twitter followers - guest post by Brecht De Poortere
This new ranking includes 500 literary magazines and ranks them by their number of Twitter followers – an easily comparable statistic that is available for virtually every magazine and gives a good indication of their digital reach and potential readership.

5 Steps to Poetry Publication - guest post by Katie Manning
Guest Blog Posts By Trish Hopkinson on March 28, 2021 Every time I teach Creative Writing: Poetry to college students, I spend some time going over how to submit poems for publication, and then they send out two batches of poems to different literary journals at the end of the semester. I set them up for the reality of disappointment by talking about acceptance rates (often lower than 1% of submissions to journals) and by showing them my own Excel spreadsheet record of acceptances and rejections.

23 NO FEE Chapbook Publishers and other Chapbook Listings
UPDATED 12/2/2019 The individual listings below are the chapbook publishers I found which do not charge submission fees, reading fees, or contest fees. Several are currently open or always open, which I’ve noted below. Many chapbooks are published via contests and do typically require a fee from $10 – $25.

Paying markets for emerging poets
Click here to download the spreadsheet: Poetry Magazine/Journal Ratings for Emerging Poets with Paying Markets I kept finding great sources and articles describing which literary magazines were paying markets and which publishing new/emerging poets, so to make heads or tails of it, I cross referenced several lists including those that use Pushcart Prize Rankings, lit mag reviewer expertise, other online writing experts, and Duotrope. The results of my research are displayed in a table here.

Where to submit nontraditional & found poetry
Most editors are happy to answer questions regarding submissions. If a lit mag seems like a good fit for your work and it happens to be a collaboration, found poem, or other more nontraditional form, contact them via email or on other social media to ask if they are open to such forms. If you receive a response and can share it with me here, I'll note it for others in the future. Most of the listings below have accepted found work or other unusual formats of poetry and/or claim that they will.
Where to submit reprints
UPDATED 11/10/2019 The article “What Is Considered Previously Published Writing?” on Writer’s Relief does a great job explaining all the nuances of determining if your work should be considered previously published. For example, is the original publisher still online? Is the issue out of print? Do blogs and social networking posts count? Many literary magazines and journals will state clearly what they consider previously published in their submission guidelines, but not all do.

My Year of Writing Poetry Book Reviews - guest post by Deborah Bacharach
