Rejected by Asses of Parnassus?

Hey there! Have you submitted a short, witty, formal poem (or verse) to Asses of Parnassus, only to have your submission rejected or ignored? I know, rejections are a part of the writer’s life, publications have their own reasons for selections and rejections, and editors are people, too! So let’s not extend judgment here.

But I’m really, really curious about which poems and poets get rejected by this particular blog. And also really curious about what a Mirror Publication for Asses of Parnassus would look like.

A Mirror Publication? It’s a publication that mirrors another publication’s submissions criteria, but only accepts work rejected by that other publication. Cool, right? (I know, I made up the concept and the term. And I am ALWAYS cool. Just ask my dogs.)

Rejected By Asses Dot Org is just such a mirror publication. It’s a chronicle of short, witty, formal poems and verse that have been unsuccessfully submitted to Asses of Parnassus. So far we have only had one submission from the public - so here’s your chance to ingratiate yourself with the editor of a lit mag very, very early on! I myself have no rejected submissions to report yet, but I expect to soon. (Let the learning begin!)

So send me your rejected or ignored poems and verse. You can submit here on the blog (just click on this post’s pink donkey avatar thingy to be taken to my blog’s homepage, and look for a pink submissions link) or by emailing me, Norma Ruiz-Fane. That’s [email protected]

This tumblr blog also exists as an ordinary website. Go to rejectedbyasses.org to see it.

And why not start your own mirror publication to publish work rejected by other publications you are interested in? I think we’re all really, really curious to compare what gets rejected vs. what gets accepted. If nothing else, your mirror publication can drive submissions to your favorite journals, since people are more likely to submit work where they know they have a second chance at publication if they don’t make it!

Submissions criteria: Just know, I won’t accept your work either if it’s unduly obscene, if it’s not written primarily in English, or if it’s blatant Free Verse.

That’s OK, you can do it!

Don’t have any rejected submissions yet? Head over to Asses of Parnassus and get yourself some! (Just be nice.)

-Norma Ruiz-Fane

Day 303: I Wrote a Novel. Now What?

For one thing, I definitely underestimated the number of people trying to get their novels published. So. Many. Writers. Some of them self-publish, but I think that’s not the best option for me for a number of reasons, some go with small publishing houses, and many compete for the big publishers. The truth is, I have no idea what this process looks like. I’ve done a few google searches and…

How To Get Published

Hey there fellow readers and writers! If you're like me and want to join the wonderful world of published writers, look no further. While browsing Sarah J. Maas' website (the wonderful author of the Throne of Glass series), I noticed in her FAQ that someone asked how to get published and she redirected them to her best friend's website where she has a three part process to the world of publishing. So, without further ado, here are the links to each part. Enjoy. Part One: http://susandennard.com/2013/01/18/how-to-get-traditionally-published-part-1/ Part Two: http://susandennard.com/2013/01/25/how-to-get-traditionally-published-part-2/ Part Three: http://susandennard.com/2013/01/28/how-to-get-traditionally-published-part-3/ Feel free to repost and share with your friends! :)

I think, therefore, I am

I would like to be able to say, 'you may know me for my literary work and book publications', where I would then list the books I have had published. Sadly, this isn't the case - at least, not yet!

I am Jake L. Hyde, and one day my name will be on the shelves of your local Waterstones, WHSmiths, Barnes & Noble or BAM.

Of everything I've done in life, the one thing I feel I'm good at, and enjoy the most is writing. I love it, and live for it. In the summer of 2011 I finished my first complete novel. It took me a little over 12 weeks to write, it's 140,000 words, over 500 pages. Called The story of a saint, The tales of the L.A. Ripper. A current crime story based in Los Angeles. The novel isn't published at the moment and has sat, very comfortably, on my laptop, gathering tiny specs of animated dust. My lack of attempts to publish are largely due to my inability to dedicate time to polishing the novel, and sending it to agents.

Since then, my life has evolved and recently I've had time to write again, however my interests have been taken away from crime into new ventures. I started this blog a few months ago, but appeared to neglect it, I plan to rectify that and I apologies for it, so as well as writing this blog, I'm working on a new novel and a collection of short stories (shorts) that relate to that novel. The writing I'm currently working on hasn't yet been named, and the theme is slightly more complicated to simply label. I suppose if I was to put it into a category, I'd go with post apocalyptic, featuring action and romance. I'll share more information about the novel, the 'shorts' and about my ideas as they come up.

I guess the aim of this blog is to get my name and some of my works out there into the world, to be known by people who are interested in my work, interested in writing and interested in what it is I have to say. My other goal is to hopefully help anyone who has always wanted to write, but has never known where to start. The fact is, writing is easy, and satisfying! One of the nicest feelings in the world, is sitting down with a cup of coffee, a notebook, and writing down the start of your first chapter! Almost instantly you feel a sense of accomplishment, a gratification of having done well! "Today hasn't been a complete waste! I achieved something!" An even better feeling is when you send that chapter to people and they give you positive feedback. Validating your ideas, and your writing style.

You might wonder, what right do I have to give my views on how to write, or how to plan your book. Truth is I don't really, but, people ask me what I do, what my career is, "Well, I'm an author." Does it matter if I'm published already? Nope. I wake up every day and think about writing, when I'm in the shower, eating, working and when I'm going back to bed, I'm thinking about writing. The fact I've been a butcher and a microbiologist is irrelevant. I live it, I breathe it. I am an author.

The following pros is an extract from my own creative works, "The story of a Saint, The tale of the L.A Ripper."

A Man At the End

The man stood over the abyss. The expanse ahead of him was vast

and stretched on forever. The light was fading, the sun disappearing

over the distant cliffs, but the man wasn't alone. He stood, staring into

the face of his great enemy, who had been fighting him his whole life.

And then he realised. It wasn't the eyes of his nemesis staring back at

him, but Time. He had been fighting her from the beginning and without

realising, he had become old.

A man standing on the edge of his life, looking over what the future held.

Nothing. He knew he had lost and with that a single tear rolled down his

cheek and he faded away into the abyss. And light was gone.

You will have noticed the double spacing between lines, whether you write on a computer or a notebook, I would advice this style. It is the style literary agents prefer, and makes it easier to add notes to your work if you work in a notebook.

To say the least, what I write on this blog is my own experience of writing and attempt to make it as an author. It would be fair to say any advice or notes I give are only worth what you pay for them: which is nothing. The final point to make, is if at any point I suggest you purchase something, it is only a suggestion and there is no financial gain to myself from suggesting it.

I suggest you buy a note book, an A4 hard back with a bound spine, and a small A6 jotter. (the bound spine is because you should never remove a page, even if you don't like the work. Keep it! It may be useful later.

The jotter should be kept on you at all times. If you intend to write the full works on a notebook before putting it onto a computer, then I recommend buying 2 A4 notebooks.

If something I write is of help to you, then you are welcome, I wish you well and good luck!

On Joyless and Peevish Critics

submitted to Asses of Parnassus by Alana K. Asby (Pseudonym) subsequently published in chapbook by Vulgaris Media Re-published by permission

...

Now let us sing of men who won’t – the unbeguiled and wary; too pinched the nose, reserved the breath, a tune to carry;

Of men whose worship is to sneer, with praise a-purpose chary; whose self-esteem when hating stuff is cautionary.

“Dear Scorn, help me to scorn,” they pray; “enjoyment momentary prithee forgive – nor let it turn me ordinary!”

…

This is my solemn song where I lament my adversary, and do not wish him antique woes. Say, dysentery.
