Rejection Tips from the Editor of Frontier Poetry: It’s never easy to open your inbox and see a wave of rejections. But try to remember—multiple declines don’t measure your talent as a poet. More often, they reflect your dedication and persistence in putting your work out into the world.

A lovely tip from Frontier Poetry's latest newsletter.

Sharing just in case you also need this reminder today.

Please add me!

What a clever and delicious play on onomatopoeia!

What a lovely, perfectly rhythmic poem that speaks directly to my own kid-sized Holocene-obsessed heart. Well done & best of luck!

So cute! And timely 🤣

Mayo Clinic says it's more common in women & cites osteoporosis as a risk factor (also more common in women & older people in general). Rings true for me, unfortunately! I was diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 37 & had my first bout of vertigo the following year.

Thanks so much!

Well-done and (ah-choo) relatable!

Think I got it to work! Thanks for the tip, Katie.

Oh no!

Beautiful story, Louise. I'm so grateful that I got the chance to read it. Here's to many more.

Thanks, Elizabeth!

Any #kidlit writers have tips for formatting #50PreciousWords entries to preserve line breaks and skipped lines? Do HTML tags work in Vivian's blog?

SAME, TRACIE, SAME.

This is one of those unforgettable stories haunted by the language of a place you can taste, and layers of emotion that leave you wanting more.

😭 ⬅️ This is me, crying happy tears after reading your kind words about my words, @tracieadams.bsky.social @trashcatlit.bsky.social.

Thank you both so much for reading (and taking the time to shout about it!).

Thank you so much, Tracie!

This comment means all the more to me, because it comes a fellow rare TracIE who spells her name right 😉

Thanks for reading it, Abbie! ♥️

My story DINNERS WITH GHOSTS is live today with audio!

Thanks to @elegantliterature.bsky.social for 1st homing it, @jordankurella.com for choosing it as the Borders & Boundaries winner, & @trashcatlit.bsky.social for giving it a second life in the pre-loved bin (& for being so fun to work with!)

Tip: the ghosts don't eat, so you'll save time on the washing up. Unless your sister runs away. And then haunts you.

Deeply relatable, and deeply moving. Congrats!

Thanks for including me! To me, kindness is a deeper sort of niceness.

Niceness is pleasant; kindness is niceness that's driven by sympathy.
