I’ve been following River River books from afar, and I’m impressed by their ethos and care towards poets’ work (in general, not just the poets they publish)

If I had a manuscript ready I’d be submitting it!
riverriverbooks.bsky.social River River Books @riverriverbooks.bsky.social · Jun 9
Both editors have read about half of our received submissions (166 received), and y’all are sending us such incredible work. 📚💙

We are open to poetry manuscript until 30 June, 2024! Fee optional, always.

I have a new story published: it’s Care Versus The Pit, a 9 minute read about an interstellar creature who feeds on kindness, and the imperfect ways humans on this planet take care of each other. Thanks Hearth & Coffin! www.hearthandcoffin.com/post/care-ve...
