Scott Amendola.

Is there an artist in your local community that you would recommend people check out?

Clara Woods.

What advice would you give someone just starting to send their work to journals?
I received my first journal publication (unpaid) after submitting to over 100. My first paid one after 200 submissions. I have eight accepted in total. This is after 30 years of writing, 12 years of making music, and 10 years of painting. I’ve read that the one thing that separates success from failure is persistence. I take this to heart.
