Mslexia question

Hi all,

I'm sure I've read on here that someone has been published in Mslexia in the past? I have submitted a piece of prose. I wondered how you find out whether they have accepted it for publication?

It felt like I had put a little piece of my soul in an envelope and posted it to them. I hate the wait to see what they thought of it.

I did get my SAE back. It is "Motherhood" Smile. That's great; thanks for your help.

Thank you for letting me know. I'm pleased it got picked up.

I've never submitted anything before, and the more I think about what I sent, the more doubt I feel.

I'm just about to start a creative writing course that I hope will give me some more confidence, but I have so many doubts about whether I'm any good. It is very frustrating!

Good luck with it, Makiko. I've also submitted but don't think I'll get published. Have been a guest blogger for them for the last three months, which has been great! And got my name known...which is only really any good if my writing's good, though!

Punk - that's cool! I aspire to that!

Well, you can only keep trying, Makiko. I feel the same about Mslexia - brilliant magazine.
