Excellent. Well done, Michaela - thoroughly well deserved.

Obsessed with Pipework, eh? Yes, I've had a rejection from them once.

Three cheers for you.

Well done! I had a couple of poems in there this autumn. The poetry generally is rather good, but the mag looks a bit amateurish, which is a pity - a contrast with Orbis, for example, which looks much swisher but I don't rate the content so highly.

Thanks David and Ros.
@ David, I can't belive anyone would reject any of your work. I'm now not sure that this Charles Johnson person actually knows what he's talking about.

But, this obvious flaw aside, he does seems like a nice guy - took the time to provide a bit of feedback on the other things I sent, and even asked to see more (he didn't like my second batch!). He said he found the end-ryhmes I tend to use clunky and a bit irritating.

But overall, a result!

Onwards and upwards.

Steady on now, you flirtatious little minx. Or, to put it another way, you had me at David.

Actually, now I think about it, Charles did make some helpful remarks about my submission, so he's clearly one of the good guys out there.

Well done anyway.
