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.

Working away on our newest print anthology and we've got some great things coming this year! We will be opening up for our very first Rough Diamond Poetry Prize in a few weeks time so keep your eyes peeled - there will be no theme to this we just want good writing.

Just to let all our contributors know that we are working away on getting the anthology together and hopefully it will be ready in a few weeks!

Our newest anthology is in the works and set to be amazing! so why not head over to Amazon and pick yourself up a copy of our bestselling body anthology! #poetry #poetrylovers #poetrycommunity www.amazon.co.uk/Body-antholo...

Here's a #poem for this week's #promptcombo #stigmas with thanks to Paul Brookes at @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social Kind of an ode to the late Richard III, to whom much stigma has been attached, perhaps thanks to Shakespeare.
