PHV Blogger Christina M. Rau Poetry Payments and Earnings for July 2016 Update (+$127.67): Hitting The Wall, Metaphorically
Life unraveled in July, so I didn’t really focus on poetry this month. I did manage to get some stuff out there, and some of my very old submissions came back around. I also attempted to follow up with a journal that published my work with the promise of payment and still hasn’t paid me. They haven’t responded. I might be subtracting from my payments and earnings for the year soon if I don’t receive it. Ooh, this is taking a turn. Let’s get on with it before we all start feeling sorry for ourselves.
