The submission deadline for Issue 7 of The First Cut is 30th April 2012. This is another great example of a quality online magazine which has cropped up in spite of the recession (or perhaps because of it!). The First Cut is the journal of the Listowel Writers group and is edited by Mike Gallagher, who was recently shortlisted for a Hennessy Award for Poetry – congrats Michael!
I was delighted to have my poem Still featured in Issue 6, alongside some other very fine writers like Grace Wells, Alan McMonagle and Kerrie O’Brien. The First Cut is a little different also, because it not only features new poetry and prose, but it also has interesting essays from experienced writers giving advice on subjects ranging from self-publishing to coping with rejection.
So why not send on three poems to them now without delay and you could be a part of a burgeoning literary journal. You should take a look at past issues online here.
All the detail you need for submitting is here.
Good to see you’re getting the poems out there, Brian. I like the rope and thread images connecting to past and present and ‘summers in warm clothes’. Looks like we’re heading for another one of those summers!
Certainly looks that way Valerie, but the bad weather keeps us at our desks which isn’t all bad…
