This cover? Yes please! Yes to: owls and poems. No to: decimating the US Forest Service.

We will probably close the window on submissions to #ResignationAnthology this week, after Tax Day. If you left the federal workforce in 2025, please tell us your story! bicycle-comics.com/pages/res…

"I opted for deferred resignation. I am okay with my choice, but I don't think I will ever be okay with how/why it happened. It feels a little like closing a good book mid-chapter." –IRS employee, resignation letter (excerpt) #ResignationBook #IRS

Over 150,000 federal workers resigned in 2025. Some did not go quietly. If you left your US government job last year, there might be a place for you in our upcoming book. bicycle-comics.com/pages/res…

Our upcoming book will showcase the best federal resignation letters of 2025. If you resigned from a US government role, including early retirement that you didn't really want, we'd like to read your parting words. bicycle-comics.com/pages/res…

Dear Editor, I see you ask for short stories not to exceed 5,000 words. Enclosed, please find my 25,000 word novella, a labor of love which unfortunately I am not able to shorten at this time.

1. When you write something intended to be read by an important person, go through it and cut every unnecessary word. 2. The reader of anything you publish is an important person.

Interesting grammatical ambiguity. I'm 99 percent sure I know the correct interpretation, but not 100.

This spring, we will publish a book full of brave acts. Dozens of federal employees resigned from their jobs rather than carry out policies they felt were illegal or un-American. They gave up their paychecks. Some gave up their pensions. We are in quiet awe of these letters.

I think it's wonderful that you all are holding a haiku contest! With that in mind, since you're looking for "risk taking, experimentation, and surprise," I would implore you to think outside of the syllabic notion of haiku, as top journals of Japanese forms written in English (like Modern Haiku) have for many years. 💜
For this ten-day challenge, Frontier seeks poetry written as Haiku! We’re looking for poetry that explores the people, places, and things you have a love-hate relationship with. The first-place winner will receive $500 publication! 🥀✍️ Learn more: frontier.submittable.com/sub…

Is it ethical for literary magazines to offer a "fast track" submission lane to writers for a higher fee? (Some mags offer expedited response time for $25.)
32% Yeah, sure, it's fine
39% Absolutely not
30% Only if the mag pays

This year, some of the most urgent writing came from federal employees at all levels who walked out. Our next book will showcase the best-written federal resignation letters of 2025. bicycle-comics.com/pages/res…

For editors, finding a great submission in the queue is better than a shot of espresso. Writers, be that. Be someone else's shot of espresso. ☕️

Poets aren’t bad at self-promotion because we’re inherently humble, but because the habits that sustain poetry have very little to do with the habits required to promote it. Promotion can feel like an assault on the inner world by the outer one. mayacpopa.substack.com/p/poe…
