    As it says, I'm thinking on putting some poems to a few magazines or something.
    I don't know whether it's best to not or if you should, say, submit anonymously or something. Anybody here done anything of the like? Did you have any success?

    Hit me with the advice stick. :D

    I have no idea what you're asking, sorry.

    If you are asking if you should submit anonymously, then the answer is no. No paper or magazine will publish anything unless they know who it is from. You can, if you wish, ask the paper not to give you a byline, or let you use a pen name, but I don't see the point.

    If you want to submit, make sure your target accepts what you write, and find out from them what format they want it in.

    That's exactly what I'm asking, thank you. So they don't let you submit anonymously. Cool, and to ensure the publications accepts what you're offering is, I suppose, obvious. Now to start trying to find people that would be into it. Thanks folks. :)
