what is your font of choice?

do you default to arial or times new roman, or are you a psycho and use wingdings?

i like to go with courier.

palatino linotype

[Mickey]

Good font.

Choose a Font--María or Angelíca?

[Mickey]

Definitely María.

thanks dad! the publisher emailed me back saying he's hoping to read it "within the week", and I was expecting to be waiting months, so this week I will mostly be on the edge of my seat with anticipation

Do you have a publisher who specializes in poetry, or are they more general?

[Ms Harmless]

so far I've published with specialist poetry small presses; if I ever branch out into fiction as well (I hope) that could change

I'm waiting on a poetry journal, it'll get back to me in the next couple of weeks, then I'm gonna try my collection with two more publishers before spending a weekend crying into my food, then trying again

I've had a "yes" from Seren Books, based in Wales

I'll be editing a new poetry chapbook with them this Summer, and if that does well, hopefully a second full collection after that
