I have placed a poem in three of these, two in the old SASE days--BPJ & Rattle--but not since, and one on their webzine, Columbia. Most of the rest have stubbornly stuck to boilerplate rejections. Many charge reading fees and I avoid those. Rejections get expensive. May editors smile upon your lines in 2024.
Thank you for this, Bethany! I’ve always wanted to combine these lists…but you did it. Grateful! I’ve submitted to many of these or are in the queue. Happy New Year!

Yes, I’ve been rejects by many of them as well. And I also try to avoid the ones with fees. Or only do a few here and there. Good luck to you!

You’re welcome, Jen! Happy New Year!
