“I came into Lit Mag Love feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of literary magazines and not knowing where to begin. Now, after the course, I have a solid list of magazines to submit to and a clear method for researching more. The lesson on finding and categorizing lit mags was especially helpful, as was the guidance on crafting a strong cover letter.

Rachel took accessibility seriously, which I deeply appreciated as someone who is chronically ill and print-disabled. Despite the short duration, a real sense of community was built. Some lessons were longer than others—especially the in-depth research on lit mags—but that work was essential.

Overall, Lit Mag Love gave me the tools and confidence to submit my writing to the right places. I found real value in the course and would recommend it to other writers looking to navigate the world of literary magazines.”

“Before taking Lit Mag Love, I had many stories but struggled to motivate myself to submit them. I didn’t know where to begin—there was so much to do, from finding magazines to writing cover letters and preparing manuscripts.

Now, after the course, I feel so much more confident. It was incredibly well-organized, and Rachel was such a wonderful motivator! I have a list of magazines, a set of deadlines, and a clear understanding of how prepared my manuscript needs to be.

I loved the practical nature of the course. There was motivation, but most importantly, there were tools that helped me move forward. Picking out magazines was critical for me—it helped me finally start submitting.

The course was fast-paced, covering a lot in six weeks, but everything was doable and flexible enough to fit my schedule. The community was fantastic, and it was a privilege to work with someone as knowledgeable as Rachel. The insights I gained far exceeded my expectations.

I now understand how to identify which journals to submit to, how to market myself, and the general tenor of the literary magazine world. Organization was key—Notion was phenomenal once I got the hang of it!

I have nothing but good things to say about Lit Mag Love. It was exactly what I needed at this stage in my journey. Thank you, Rachel, for your expertise and encouragement!”

“My submission process used to be inconsistent and discouraging. I’d send out a batch of work, face rejections, and then stop submitting for long stretches. I lacked confidence in choosing publications and struggled to build momentum.

The Lit Mag Love course changed that. It demystified the submission process and helped me commit to a schedule. While I don’t submit every week, I now submit and write far more regularly than ever before—something I had been trying (and failing) to do on my own for years. The structure and support of the course gave me the extra boost I needed to make submitting a habit.

Since taking the course, I’ve published several short pieces, including flash fiction, and even won a writing contest. I’m on track to submit more this year than ever before. If you’re serious about getting published, learning from someone with experience as both a writer and an editor is invaluable. This course makes things click and gives you the confidence to move forward with your writing.”

“Before taking Lit Mag Love, my submission process was scattered and unorganized. I didn’t have a clear system for keeping track of where I was sending my work.

The course helped me change that. We created a submission tracker that I can update and use to stay organized, which has made a huge difference. More importantly, I feel encouraged and excited to keep going with the work we started.

Rachel was incredibly patient and thorough in answering my questions. I appreciated being introduced to new tools, like the Notion tracker, without any pressure to use them. At no point did I feel too old or inexperienced to learn—Rachel’s support was both practical and empowering. She took a genuine interest in my work and gave great suggestions for additional places to submit.

This course is an incredible value and will propel your writing dreams forward. I’m so grateful for Rachel and Lit Mag Love!”
