Things I did today instead of doomscrolling
1. Went to view a house (lintels too low and stairs faintly terrifying)
2. Ate lunch out
3. Discussed leadership dynamics
4. Considered rice cakes
5. Started some new knitting and promptly fell asleep

ALT 6 Lit mags you gotta submit to this week (& why)
Pleiades Magazine
An 80s mag that continues to stay relevant. They have a great book review as well as a print and online presence, and their acceptance rate is very much in the sweet spot.
The London Magazine
A literary magazine older than my grandpa, but one that’s pretty much cemented its place in the lit mag world.
The Literary Fantasy Magazine
A mag that’s new to me but has been around for a couple years. They want stories that challenge convictions and paint new horizons.
A Public Space
I’ve met some of the folks behind A Public Space and this lit mag and press has a great, genuine team behind it.
VOLTA
A fairly new lit mag that has a great name (I’m a sucker for all-caps names), they want work that’s imagistically vibrant and emotionally raw and ambitious.
ONLY POEMS
In preparation and celebration for this not-a-real-holiday-but-what-the-heck, the Poem of the Month theme is all about dads. So, um, send your daddy poems.
Standing room only for launch of my new novel The Other Beautiful People @PoliticsProse last night!! Am grateful to all! Read now, beautiful people! #books#readers#classicmovies
