Must be rejection season because I've gotten six in the last two days. Who wants some poems & stories?

my debut poetry collection, Brazos, comes out in August from @bellepointpress.bsky.social

put all my sports poems in a document to see if I had a manuscript yet I don't, but maybe this is motivation to get to work on fleshing it out & writing more poems until I do have a manuscript.

thanks!

feeling a lot of imposter syndrome today after getting feedback on a feature I was working on, think maybe the more journalism side of sports writing might not be my thing

Big 12 Conference Women’s Basketball Season Preview

What can we expect from the 14-team Big 12 this season?

been writing sports poems for about a year, sending them off to literary journals like normal, but decided to just send some to a sports magazine & see if I can really start to blur these lines of my different writing worlds
