I am deeply grateful to Juan Re Crivello for choosing me as the first editor of MasticadoresUsa. Juan is a wonderful author and editor. Two years ago he founded Gobblers/Masticadores that has already passed one million views.
Hello to you my dear readers, and also to my fellow editors of the Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and other editions of Masticadores. I am Gabriela Marie Milton, 2019 Author of the Year at Spillwords Press NYC, author of Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings, and author of #1 Amazon bestselling poetry collection Woman: Splendor and Sorrow: I Love Poems and Poetry Prose.
MasticadoresUsa features talented writers of poetry and short prose. We primarily publish writers who write in English and are based in the USA. However, while the publication language remains English, we also welcome the work of our fellow writers from all over the world.
I plan to make MasticadoresUsa a success. So: Pick up your pens. Tap your keyboards. Mesmerize me. Enchant me.
Several words about the founder of Masticadores Juan Re Crivello. Juan is a Barcelona based author. He is an active blogger in the digital editions of El País, Clarin, and Le Monde. You can find his bio on the Masticadores site. His publications can be found on Amazon here.

You too Mat.
Hope it goes well. I live in New Zealand so can’t take part…
Thank you my dear. Take a look at the website Gobblers/Masticadores. Gobblers publishes in English and I do not think they care about the location. Check that.
Hell Gabriela, congratulations from me in England too. I am only beginning to follow your writing. Much awe-inspiring already. As for he editorial announcement re publish from outside the US, I am slightly confused. When I followed the link/to the page as you said – outside US etc I could not find any editor for English to contact? Did I miss something? Thank you.
Hi Barbara, thank you so much for your kind words. If you cannot find the link I will be more than happy to feature your work in MasticadoresUSA as a guest. Please do not hesitate to submit at gabrielamariemilton@gmail.com. Please send the address of you site and an image that you want me to use.
Again. I will be delighted to have you with us.
oh Gabriela, now I am humbled; will do as invited. Thanks so much.
My pleasure. Looking forward to your submission.
of course that was supposed to be Hello – horrid typos
Don’t worry 🙂
This is such wonderful news dearest Button. You will do a magnificent job and what a wonderful opportunity. Over a million views. Congratulations and happiness for you my friend. Sending you balloons that glow in the evening and will spell your name in fairy dust. By the way I love the name of your new book. Love (J) honeybun ❤️
Honeybun, thank you so much for your kind words and for the congrats. That is very kind of you. The balloons and the love are wonderful. Sending love, hugs and blessings for a beautiful day.

Congratulations Gabriela: wonderful news and richly deserved 🤩🥳🥰
Thank you so much Ingrid. You are a sweetheart. I am looking forward to your anthology. I can’t wait.
xoxo
I am sorry I won’t be able to submit as I am outside the US: but wish you all the best 🥰
Ingrid, please take a look at the site. Gobblers publishes in English and I do not think that they care about the country. Please contact the appropriate editor. Let me know how it goes.
Ok I will, thank you 😊
🙂
They have a nice Spanish site too. I have been trying to write poetry in Spanish recently 😅
Great ❤️🌹
Congratulations G I am sure you’ll do great…just sad, its for US based writers…
Thank you sweetheart. Look at the site. I think Gobblers is for English only no matter the country. Please contact the appropriate editor.
aw, yay.. thank you
My pleasure sweetheart.
Great news, Gab. Enjoy the new position.
Thank you hon. How are you doing?
Mixed feelings, Gab. There’s so much going on right now. I try hard not to break down, but do so several times per day.

Love you hon.

Congratulations
Thank you 🌹
Well, Gabriela – looks like this Englishman needs to be American, well, for at least for six-months, hang on though, will that mean writing English US style, I can barely write it as a mother tongue, my spelling already bad enough! I’ve long felt you, as a writer, a poet, a friend in our online world, I have this feeling, literarily, the wider world will come to know you.
Well, Eric – you are a bright and talented Englishman who certainly knows how to spell better than I do. Your writing is magnificent. Are you blushing?
I do not know about the world coming to know me but I can assure you that in this online world of ours I will always cherish our friendship and your support.
Have a lovely weekend.
xoxo
