I know there’s concern about AI-generated content, but this is a researched list I created myself. It’s honestly disheartening as a writer — especially as a newly disabled writer — and someone trying to help, to be told you sound like AI after hours of work. Yes, I play by algorithm rules most of the time, but that’s not an indication of being less human. We don’t grow if we ignore how platforms work. December submissions close in three weeks. Hardly anyone submits during the holidays, which makes this the perfect time — less competition, faster responses, journals filling spring issues.This carousel: paying journals (Copper Nickel: $30/page), AALA-vetted agents (zero reading fees), international presses open to debuts. Curtis Brown, Nelson Literary, C&R Press, Graywolf, Carcanet — all accepting now.I built this list because navigating submissions shouldn’t mean wasting time on predatory journals and fake agents. Everything here is verified.Workbooks in bio: query letters, submission strategy that works. December: £10/month (usually £30).Tell me where you’re submitting — I’ll share what I know about them.#writingcommunity #literaryagent #submissions #poetrycommunity #amwriting #getpublished #literaryjournal #indieauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/DRxVfQNEV7X/?img_index=3&igsh=MWQwdzJnMjE3ZGQ4YQ==
