Welcome back, all you fabulous micro-poets! The excitement I feel every time I open it up again is palpable. Each submission cycle sees our veteran writers returning, as well as new and talented individuals checking in for the first time. I am always amazed at the work they submit!

I invite everyone interested in participating to read the guidelines on the submission page, whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or are new to our publication. Please follow the rules to ensure your submission is accepted. This year is significantly different from previous years, as I’ve tried to streamline it as much as possible. It should make it easier for us all! Should you have any questions, I’m an email away. :)

Also, a quick reminder, only the first 52 accepted submissions make it into the features and the book, so don’t dilly-dally! Get them in as soon as you can.

Since The Short of It‘s inception in 2020, I’ve been honored to publish these three volumes – The Sound of Brilliance , Reflections & Revelations, and Natures Discovered on Amazon.

All the books contain incredible thoughts, which I’m proud to have been privy to initially and then feature publicly, not only with my audience here but also around the world. If you haven’t gotten your copy yet, feel free to click on the links. I’d appreciate it!

I look forward to receiving the first submission!
