Sun, 12 Jul 2009 23:06:58 -0700 Although I recently moved to the Detroit area, I am Canadian, having lived in Toronto, London and all over SW Ontario.
I am fairly new to GoodReads so I very much look forward to 'meeting' all of you, and especially appreciate the opportunity to connect with writers from The Motherland. Ha.
Thanks to Renee and Ali for getting this started.

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:56:40 -0700 I’m a fairly new member of GoodReads and am happy to have found this area. I’m a writer (poetry, fiction, non-fiction) and have lots of work out there right now, so I figured I would join in.
Nina, to answer your question, I generally submit to pubs where I have read at least two issues, either in print or online. For new publications, I submit if it seems like they are open to writing like mine. Generally, though, I am either familiar with what a publication prints or I familiarize myself before submitting.
I, too, find the more I submit, the more success I have with publication – which I suppose sounds like a given. While I go through phases of submitting and not submitting, I have been fairly consistent the past year or so, and have been really pushing it this year since I have a new book-length poetry collection out this fall. I figured the more periodicals I reach, the more my book may be reached as well.
Oh, and on the topic of rejection limitations – I don’t limit myself, though thinking on it… I think I usually let a good deal of time pass prior to submitting again, in the few instances I have. I think I generally wait a year, if not more.
I look forward to getting to know each of you better and learning more about your process - and discovering your writing!
