framlingemHm.
Am compiling a list of poetry journals, in the crazy idea that I might get published in one of them and actually (gasp) get some money. Although, since the going rate appears to be ten dollars per 'feature' (which can be anywhere up to ten poems, it seems) plus a copy of the magazine, I have a feeling postage might wind up costing me more than I wind up making. 0_o
*note to self - learn how to write thrillers with lots of sex so can get paid decent advances plus royalties and maybe even movie deals like Michael Crichtonwho has stopped writing books and now produces thinly-veiled screenplays*
Most poetry journals (at least, those with webpages furnishing details on where to send things) seem to be in the United States.
In order to submit items for publication, I am well aware that one must include a self-addressed stamped envelope. This may be an issue, as I do not live in the United States and thus cannot simply nip down to the post office and buy the correct postage. Is there a place online where one can order international stamps? I'd try eBay, but since most of the stamps on there are collectibles, it seems a bit silly. (Plus, Dad is a philatelist, and I would NEVER put a collectible stamp on an envelope, no sir. Even if Dad does like them postmarked, most people don't.) Failing that, is there a system in place at post offices where you can say "I'd like return postage included on this, please?"
