A Bit of Advice from The Publishing Poet:
I've published all my adult life. Nationally published The Black Pledge of Allegiance and done tv and radio and even had a column for a newspaper in L.A. for awhile once upon a time. I presently am catching hell getting my maunscript's published, so I know a thing or two about trials, and I know that whatever you've been challenged with you can challenge, and perhaps; it can be overcome with a lot of diligence and perserverance. And even if you don't succeed at least you gave it the best damn effort you could give.
Remember, There's only one way to win and that's to compete!!!
