Listen to the truth.

Hi poetry reviewers, writers, readers: here’s a document I made of paying reviews markets. Holler at me if you see something that needs to be updated/deleted/added! 🙏 I would appreciate it. Would love this to be a community resource for freelance writers to be paid for their criticism.

This is so brilliant!

New flash up at @mrbullbull.bsky.social! Thank you, B! I love clueless dude narrators.

Incredible piece from @sfreligh.bsky.social
