Hey Adam! Some other peeps were just talking about you! You're making a good impression on folx! And you seem to be doing well yourself! I like the RU-vid facelift. Nice job. And hah! Yeah, its the dream life but you have to be a certain type of person. There sure are some problems that come along with the freedom-- you probably saw it on my IG account. But for sure, its a blast. Thanks for the praise, sir!

ooooh this'd be a great video though I won't plan on doing so for several months. Looking at my RU-vid schedule, I tentatively can have this video out in the Fall 🫣 Alternatively, there were some sweet gems in this video where I sat in on several publishing talks where some of what was spoken about was the submission process: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yyKt1B0ncfA.html I got a whole publishing playlist here: ru-vid.com/group/PLLHmXoTVq3-AI2HqnE3aFnV21gj8VtmwZ And additionally, if you were interested in working one-on-one, Patreon and my other services are here: www.patreon.com/dimitrireyes www.dimitrireyespoet.com/services/

Hi Todd, we feel the first way in your first paragraph. In regards to your question, usually-- once you publish with one magazine/journal THAT's where the poem will appear until it comes out in a collection. There are some exceptions like other mags/journals that republish work (they've done that for me with my poem "We're Still Wailers" though one was a video and one was in print. www.acentosreview.com/specialissuejune2020/dimitri-reyes.html www.tribes.org/tribesorgpoetry-1/2020/11/8/dimitri-reyes Your work can also be reprinted in an anthology, too. But these two ways are less available than searching submittable and literally falling onto different online/print mags. So if you did publish with a magazine but got little to no web exposure, you'd have to take matters into your own hands-- some purists don't like to do this but I've seen many do this, myself included-- you can take a pic of the poem and post it up on social media. It's common courtesy to thank the editors/publication and sing their praises. This usually incentivizes the fact that you put it out there and it's good publicity for them, especially in a time where people are turning more and more to the ease of online readers. Lastly-- how important is a magazines rep? It depends on your motives and what your goals are. Feel free to write me back and I'll see if I can assist you with more information. Personally, if you have a loving community-- friends, family, and places that want to work with you (or you'd like to build those kind of networks) having some of your work online is a good thing. Always.

Hah, no problem. I'm a big proponent of breaking the rules, but before we bend them we got to know them 😆

Glad it helped, Natalie!

You're welcome Keney.

You're welcome, Tandra!

Garamond is good as well. Usually, any of the serif fonts are ok if they aren't looking for specific types.

Peace brother. I'm not on wattpad but if you have a link when it drops, send it to me. If I get time, i'll surely give it a look.

@@DimitriReyesPoet ok thanks, will do

@@thebradsterprod.9256 By the way. I'm very sorry that I called you brother, just in case you didn't identify as he/him. Again, my apologies.

@@DimitriReyesPoet I do identify as him. It's all cool

This is a loaded question. I think it depends on a number of things, all of which are super arbitrary depending on the Publisher, Promoter, Organization, who you ask, etc etc etc... What I'd say is that some readers will look at your bio upon submitting. And in this situation, it'll just be able to give them a read on who's behind the work being submitted. As well as where to find your other stuff. The bio is also good for a potential audience once you are published. I always suggest leaving some sort of contact info--either your website or your social media-- for individuals to follow you. Anything in writing that isn't your creative writing should lead back to you somehow. For instance, I had someone who sent me this GREAT chapbook after I got published somewhere in order to make contact, but there's no way for me to get in touch with them-- no email, social media, or website source. It wasn't you, was it? :-) I also have a vid on writing your first bio. Not the BEST quality, but the info was good! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C7JuZxSFesI.html

Glad it helped!
