Something I forgot to think of is location. I'm in a hot bed of aging hippies and yuppie hipsters, and there are at least three explicitly feminist publishing houses in town, so that is sure to be affecting my experience some.

As an unpublished poet, trying to get a start before graduating, with a small group of semi-literary friends, I have to ask: what lit mag? I'll have you know, my list of rejection e-mails is getting pretty impressive.

Also, it's a good thing your aiming to write, because 7/21 is a third. Yeah, it adds up, but the overall trend seems to be positive.
