New 🚩 The Drift magazine and its payments to the writers

The Drift is “a magazine of culture and politics.” They want “socially engaged cultural criticism; class-sensitive analysis; pieces that point out what’s being avoided or talked around in politics, media, arts, or even academia; upbeat cynicism; un-self-serious screeds; generous takedowns; entries from the margins; fiction; poetry. You can also write 1-3 sentence book/novel/ movie or TV art reviews. They pay $2,000 for essays, $500 - $1,000 for short stories, $150 for poems, and $25 for mentions. I am very interested in poetry writing. I am already satisfied with the pay of $150. I will submit my entry tomorrow. What about you? Grab this chance. Visit the site The Drift.

I am a story writer but never have been published on international publication. However, I have submitted my work on multiple platforms but always rejected

That's sad, I also experienced the same but it was a long poem being not heard if won or rejected. I no longer submit.

I guess I cannot indulge in. The topics listed were not my interest. I guess I need to pass for this idea.

I am on this. I write poems and joined the international poetry contest. I hope to be among the top 3. The result will be on December 22.

A lot of well established writers were also rejected multiple times, so rejections are common but rejections also makes you discouraged. Instead of sending to prestigious sites, I try to publish on my own
