It actually hurts, as most publications treat previously-published work like the plague."<br /><br />You seem to be focusing on the writer's obtaining payment <i>for those specific poems</i>; we're speaking in broader terms. Publishing work helps by calling attention of the poetry-reading public to the writer's work. Having read work by a particular writer in <i>AR</i> or one of the many other non-paying journals, a reader may choose to seek out work by that writer in the future, purchasing print journals which <i>do</i> pay the writer and purchasing chapbooks, anthologies, and full-length volumes of that writer's work. Speaking personally, I have purchased literally dozens of books because of a few individual poems I've read in non-paying journals. In that broader sense, the writer's interest <i>is</i> being well served, we believe.<br /><br />Howard Miller<br />Contributing Editor<br /><i>Avatar Review</i>Hedgiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073063597585826524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19630688.post-14945327646600067992010-06-07T22:56:56.939+00:002010-06-07T22:56:56.939+00:00Way to go, Sarah!

Good stuff, all three (that I read at Avatar).<br /><br />Curious, though, about this line that the Avatar editors wrote under the Submissions heading:<br /><br />"We believe in money for art and will shamelessly promote artists’ work in the hope it can be sold."<br /><br />I understand it to mean that THEY don't pay, but I'm not sure how publishing writers' work HELPS the writer. It actually hurts, as most publications treat previously-published work like the plague. <br /><br />Am I confused or are they kidding themselves?<br /><br />-- Newbie in Poetry Publishing Land (East of Eden and West of Candy Land)NEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19630688.post-52568848794773721052010-06-06T22:15:05.709+00:002010-06-06T22:15:05.709+00:00Great poems!
