I am a 20 year female who thoroughly enjoys writing. I would like to try creative writing and poetry as a hobby. Does anybody have any good suggestions of websites for me to check out or maybe poetry competitions online as I need some help deciding what to write about.

Edward C asked:
I am 17 years old – how can I publish my poetry? What are my various options for publishing? Obviously, the more legitimate the publishing, the harder it will be to get it published, but what are all of the different options along that spectrum?

Shade asked:
I’ve been thinking of submitting some of my poetry to some magazines, and I was wondering if publishers don’t want you to submit the same pieces to different magazines? Even if I submit a piece a long time after its been published elsewhere to a new magazine, would tat be frowned upon? Does anyone know?

Sweet Johnny asked:
I’ve never been interested in poetry, but am well versed in literature. I’m looking to read some contemporary (preferably acclaimed) poetry that speaks about humanity and/or society. I’m not looking for love poems or poems about the beauty of a place or anything of that sort.

If you can, please give me a sample. I’m hoping to take the editor’s idea if my collection can be expanded and published into a book. So how can I write a query letter?

ladi.illicit. ™ asked:
Okay so I have a question for all of you because I can’t seem to find the poetry within me. How did poetry first come to you and how did it develop within you. What is your current relationship with is as a reader, listener and writer? What’s your experience of the first time you encountered it, maybe in grade school. How were you led into it and who led you in?
