Image result for publish buttonThanks to Tom for passing this tip on to us: There's a Facebook page named "Calls for Submissions (Poetry, Fiction, Art)" that lists places that are accepting submissions. It's a closed group but it has over 35,000 members so they must not be too picky about who they accept!
