anecdotes anyone?

[emchy]

a few question for all you gorgeous poets/writers/freelancers etc. out there

where do you go to find places to submit your work?

how do you choose which places are worth the reading fee?

(and for you published folks) how did you come into contact with/choose your publisher?

now of course I know the poets market and various poet mags - I am looking more for personal process, if you're wiling to share
I am trying to get a grip on sending work out
and though I have read the entire - cover to cover - poets market, I am floundering

No place is ever worth the reading fee. Ever, ever, ever. Seriously, The $ is going in the *wrong* direction.

I second that. I stopped paying entry fees for contests, too.
