Hey Lucy, this is an awesome post and I really loved how you touched on the rejection aspect of being a writer. I’ve submitted lots of rejected nonfiction pieces to publications before they were finally accepted. I think it’s crucial to understand as a writer that your writing can be good, but it just may not fit that publication at the time and that’s okay. Thank you so much for posting this! Your newsletter is awesome by the way! Just subscribed! :)
Rejection of non-fiction pieces is even harder to deal with! In my experience, anyway, it's like they're rejecting your actual life lol. But yes it's all about getting your piece in front of the right editor :) I'm glad you enjoyed the article
What a great share, thank you. I’m getting back into non fiction magazine and journal writing after a decade of writing/producing docos and VR, and have found it overwhelming trying to find the right ‘home’ for the writing I want to share, along with building up a new network of publications and editors etc. Especially now I have three kids and several ongoing projects, your list is a huge time saver. Grateful ☺️
That's so great to hear! I found it very overwhelming at first too, and it can be hard to juggle with the rest of your life. We're all in roughly the same boat though! Best of luck
Congrats on all the recent wins and thanks for the super helpful article! I wasn’t aware of sites like Chill Subs
It's such a helpful site, there's loadssss on magazines on there!

Oh, I can only imagine Lucy! My perfectionism meter is off the charts whenever I write fiction lol. Keep up the great work! :)
