Tbh all poets have main character energy, so idk HOW we managed to narrow it down to 11. A lot of help from @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social and sleep deprivation probably.

Okay, but don’t actually give up, because we have Raging Against the State of the Publishing World at 9am tomorrow. Maybe we could do brunch after?

Will you get an agent? Who knows. Will you sound important at parties? Absolutely.

No database exists for agents’ reading habits, so we did this the hard way—by asking every agent, editor, and writing-adjacent human we could.

About 3 months ago, we launched a lit mag incubator to give $1000 to 5 mags willing to try something new, serve underrepresented communities, and prove ethical publishing can actually work.

Today we picked our 5 (okay, and 10 finalists) and it’s time to CELEBRATE THEM✨
