Yay! Eight submissions out so far this month. Going for 20 a month. Cheer me on (and join me if you can)! With any luck, by the end of the year, one or two pieces will be in print. (And there are still one or two hanging over from last year. ) It takes a lot of research and sheer tenacity to get even one piece published, but that’s the nature of the beast. I do have a few targeted publications, and I submit to them first. How do you submit your work? What’s your method? I’m always interested in both teaching and learning.
