Come read this thoughtful and profound advice on how to get your work published in the literary world by the editor, Brian of the Vita Brevis Magazine.

If you’re here, you may have read this (or something like it, elsewhere):
We appreciate your submission. However, we’ve decided that your work isn’t a good fit for Vita Brevis, and we won’t be publishing it. But don’t be dissuaded–very few of our poets have been published on their first try! Read over some of our work, make sure your submission meets our exact guidelines, and then choose a new batch that you deem relevant.

We’re rooting for you,
The Vita Brevis Team
