I am currently studying Creative Writing with the Open University and our latest assignment was to produce a piece of work and then to research a potential on-line magazine outlet for our work. I chose to submit a 40 line poem for this assignment and you as my target magazine. I enjoyed reading all the poetry on your site and your mission statement to 'give writers their first by-line.' I decided I may as well send the poem to you for real. My 'first ever' submission.
