Well, damn.
I wonder why Margaret has better luck getting her poems published, than I do.
<<<Margaret's literary agent.
About three years ago, I submitted eleven of her poems--it was on the up-and-up, nothing underhanded about it--to the largest weekly newsmagazine in the world, The Watchtower; she deserved the widest audience possible, I thought.
Even though I sent along a self-addressed stamped envelope, they never got back to me.
However, maybe it's my own fault, maybe I was too pushy. Besides monetary compensation for the poetess (minus my 10% cut, of course), I demanded that if The Watchtower published them, they also had to have a photograph of Margaret on the front cover of that issue.
I dunno; sometimes I do push too hard.
